[edit] Raison d'Être

Would this navigational template be better served by some other format? WilliamDParker 17:24, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I think it's a convenient template, I've been clicking around on it and it's very handy. I'm also glad that it's on top. No single complaint here!

Should the different perturbation theory variants used in quantum chemistry be included here? (e.g. Møller-Plesset perturbation theory, N-Electron Valence state Perturbation Theory) --WilliamDParker 18:39, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

I have added the MP methods as they are very popular. I do not think we should add everything as it would get too large. Other methods should be linked from the main articles that this box shows.

Should Density matrix renormalization group be here? It seems rather specialised and not comparable to the others. --Bduke 07:42, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

• I second this, DMRG is not any of the standard electronic structure methods.--P.wormer 08:15, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• I agree as well and have removed it; the DMRG article itself states that is still restricted to 1D and limited 2D systems --WilliamDParker 13:58, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Would this be better as a footer? --WilliamDParker 18:42, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
