Exciting discussions on the impact of quantum effects in small molecular systems took place in the historical city of Edinburgh this fall 2018 in the unique conference format of the Faraday Discussions. During this three day conference meeting close to Holyrood Park, 65 leading experts from all over the world came together to discuss the developments, advances and challenges in the wide field of quantum effects in small molecular systems, either isolated or embedded into clusters, clathrates or cold matrices. The meeting clearly reflected the importance of the accurate description, characterization and prediction of quantum effects in isolated, solvated and complexed molecular systems, while allowing the community to crystallize future perspectives and directions in the field, as well as applications in chemistry, physics, biology, environmental sciences and industry.
今年秋天，在爱丁堡这座历史名城，以 Faraday Discussions 这一独特的会议形式，举行了一场关于小分子系统中量子效应影响的激动人心的讨论。在这次为期三天的会议上，有 65 名来自世界各地的顶尖专家齐聚一堂，讨论了小分子系统中量子效应的广泛领域的发展、进展和挑战，这些小分子系统或孤立存在，或嵌入在团簇、笼合物或冷基质中。这次会议清楚地反映了准确描述、表征和预测孤立、溶剂化和络合分子系统中量子效应的重要性，同时也让该领域的未来前景和方向以及在化学、物理、生物、环境科学和工业中的应用得以明确。
