19. This term is used here to describe simulations of various levels of sophistication, where the techniques are based on solutions of Schrodinger's equation. While semi-empirical techniques such as Tight Binding will be included, empirical and multi-scale methods will be omitted from this review, for the purposes of conciseness.
