DESCRIPTION:Dr. Lucia Reining\, Ecole Polytechnique Palaiseau\nMany proper
 ties of materials are determined by electronic excitations. However\, in a
  piece of matter an electron is never excited alone\, since the Coulomb in
 teraction between electrons is strong and long-ranged. In general an excit
 ation involves the entire system\, including classical electrostatic and p
 urely quantum mechanical contributions.  How can theory understand\, and 
 how can calculations predict\, the wealth of unexpected phenomena that may
  take place ?\nIn this talk we will see how first principles calculations 
 contribute to our understanding\, focusing on the main theoretical ideas\,
  their conceptual and technical limitations\, recent progress\, and compar
 ison with experiment.\n
