QSCP-IV, by Jean Maruani in 1999 at Marly-le-Roi (Paris, France);
QSCP-V, by Erkki Brändas in 2000 at Uppsala (Sweden);
QSCP-VI, by Alia Tadjer and Yavor Delchev in 2001 at Sofia (Bulgaria);
QSCP-VII, by Ivan Hubac in 2002 near Bratislava (Slovakia);
QSCP-VIII, by Aristides Mavridis in 2003 at Spetses (Athens, Greece);
QSCP-IX, by J.-P. Julien in 2004 at Les Houches (Grenoble, France);
QSCP-X, by Souad Lahmar in 2005 at Carthage (Tunisia);
QSCP-XI, by Oleg Vasyutinskii in 2006 at Pushkin (St. Petersburg, Russia);
QSCP-XII, by Stephen Wilson in 2007 near Windsor (London, England);
QSCP-XIII, by Piotr Piecuch in 2008 at East Lansing (Michigan, USA);
QSCP-XIV, by G. Delgado-Barrio in 2009 at El Escorial (Madrid, Spain);
QSCP-XV, by Philip Hoggan in 2010 at Cambridge (England);
QSCP-XVI, by Kiyoshi Nishikawa in 2011 at Kanazawa (Japan);
QSCP-XVII, by Matti Hotokka in 2012 at Turku (Finland);
QSCP-XVIII, by M. A. C. Nascimento in 2013 at Paraty (Rio, Brazil);
QSCP-XIX, by Cherri Hsu in 2014 at Taipei (Taiwan);
QSCP-XX, by Alia Tadjer and Rossen Pavlov in 2015 at Varna (Bulgaria);
QSCP-XXI, by Yan Wang in 2016 at Vancouver (BC, Canada);
QSCP-XXII, by S. Jenkins and S. Kirk in 2017 at Changsha (China).
The lectures presented at QSCP-XXIII were grouped into six areas, in the field
of Quantum Systems in Chemistry, Physics, and Biology, ranging from Concepts
and Methods in Quantum Chemistry through Relativistic Effects in Quantum
Chemistry, Atoms and Molecules in Strong Electric and Magnetic Fields, Reactive
Collisions and Chemical Reactions, Molecular Structure, Dynamics and
Spectroscopy, and Molecular and Nano materials, to Computational Chemistry,
Physics, and Biology.
The width and depth of the topics discussed at QSCP-XXIII are reflected in the
contents of this volume of proceedings in Progress in Theoretical Chemistry and
Physics, which includes four parts:
I. Exotic Atomic Systems (4 papers);
II. Clusters and Molecules Interactions (4 papers);
III. Biochemistry and Biophysics (4 papers);
IV. Fundamental Theory (4 papers).
In addition to the scientific program, the workshop had its usual share of cultural
events. There was an evening wildlife exploration in Kruger Park and a night dance
and music show by the Mopani Camp Folklore Group.
The award ceremony of the CMOA Prize and Medal took place during the
banquet. The CMOA Prize for junior scientists was shared between the three
selected nominees: Jian Liu (Peking, China), Daniel Roca-Sanjuan (Valencia,
Spain), and Mwombeki Kabanda (Mmabatho, South Africa). The prestigious
CMOA Medal for senior scientists was awarded to Prof. Alia Tadjer (Sofia,
Bulgaria).
