Walter Kohn
Walter Kohn is an Austrian-American theoretical physicist and theoretical chemist. Together with John Pople, he received the 1998 Chemistry Prize. The award recognizes their contributions to understanding the electronic properties of materials. In particular, Kohn plays a leading role in the development of the density function theory, which helps to calculate the electronic structure of quantum mechanics by equations related to electron density. This simplification of calculations has led to more precise calculations on complex systems as well as new knowledge and has become an essential tool for materials science, condensed phase physics and materials Chemical physics of atoms and molecules .
