7 P. Dirac, Proc. Roy. Soc. (London) A123 (1929) 714: The general theory of quantum mechanics is now almost complete... The underlying physical laws necessary for the mathematical theory of... the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the difficulty is only that the exact application of these laws leads to equations that are much too complicated to be soluble. It therefore becomes desirable that approximate methods of applying quantum mechanics should be developed, which can lead to an explanation of the main features of complex atomic systems without too much computation. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded The 1998 Nobel Prize in Chemistry in the area of quantum chemistry to Walter Kohn, University of California at Santa Barbara, USA and John A. Pople, Northwestern Univ., Evanston, Ill., USA (British citizen). Citation: "to Walter Kohn for his development of the density-functional theory and to John Pople for his development of computational methods in quantum chemistry."
