The Hylleraas Symposium

Åpent
The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters

The Hylleraas Symposium is a celebration of the achievements of Egil A. Hylleraas. His work on the helium atom in the 1920s confirmed the validity of quantum mechanics for many-particle systems and probably represents the first important use of computing in physics.
