This text addresses such problems in quantum mechanics from the viewpoint of numerical analysis, illustrating them to a large extent on intermediate models between the Schrödinger equation of full many-body quantum dynamics and the Newtonian equations of classical molecular dynamics. The fruitful interplay between quantum dynamics and numerical analysis is emphasized UR - https://doi.org/10.4171/067 UR - http://www.ems-ph.org/img/books/lubich_mini.jpg ER -
