 R Democritos\, Trieste)\nhttps://epfl.zoom.us/j/83512387218\nPasscode: 462
 8\n\nDavid Vanderbilt (Rutgers University) and Raffaele Resta (IOM-CNR Dem
 ocritos\, Trieste) will give a joint lecture on "Berry phases in condensed
  matter physics"\, in what will be the third event in the series "Classics
  in molecular and materials modelling" hosted by CECAM and MARVEL.\n\nIn
  this series\, methods that have become fundamental tools in computational
  physics and chemistry will be presented by their originators at a level a
 ppropriate for master and graduate students. The lectures will be followed
  by an interview with the presenters: we’ll ask them to recall for us th
 e period\, problems\, people and circumstances that accompanied the creati
 on of milestone methods and algorithms that we now routinely use. \nWe ho
 pe that you will be able to join us and share with us this unusual and int
 eresting opportunity to learn first hand from pioneers who have contribute
 d significantly to our field and to get to know better the history and ane
 cdotes behind work that is now recorded in books. \n\nProgram\n15:00  
 –  Introduction\n15:10  –  Conceptual Aspects of the Theory of Elec
 tric Polarization and Orbital Magnetization (D. Vanderbilt)\n16:00  –
