This workshop will examine off-the-beaten path approaches to electronic structure theory, particularly low-scaling and unconventional methods. Format: Invited lectures and poster presenters. Anyone attending, who is not an invited speaker, is expected to present a poster.

Themes for the LUEST 2014 workshop:
I. Unconventional electronic structure methods
• Exact/extremely accurate solutions to the Schrodinger equation
• Low scaling techniques and accurate calculations on very large systems
• Density Matrix Renormalization Group and Tensor Networks
• Reduced Density Matrix methods
• Quantum Monte Carlo and Stochastic Approaches
• Unconventional Density Functionals
• Density Matrix Functional Theory
• Non-Gaussian basis sets (for instance numerical, finite element)

II. Bridging the gap between the physics and chemistry community
• Dynamical Mean Field Theory
• Random Phase Approximation for ground state correlations
• The GW method
• The Bethe-Salpeter equation
• COHSEX and other Green's Function models
