2 Introduction

3 Introduction Can we read a molecule spin? Can we access electronic (and vibranic) states? Can we write and read information in the spin state of a molecule?

4 Introduction Electronic structure of the molecule Electronic structure of the device (equlibrium properties) Transport properties of the device (out-of-equilibrium properties)

36 Conclusions DFT, DMC and CASPT return different results (different order of magnitude!!) CASPT chemsists say that we should trust it as reference DMC...trial wave-function seems not to matter much Pseudo-potential...hard to say...but can a bad pseudo-potential be responsible for an systematic error of about more than 0.5 ev on an energy difference? What else?
