## Abstract

With support from the Chemical Theory, Models, and Computational Methods (CTMC) and Chemical Structure and Dynamics (CSD) programs in the Division of Chemistry, Professor Doran Raccah of the University of Texas and Eric Bittner of the University of Houston are organizing the Texas Winter School on Chemical Applications of Quantum Information. Scheduled for Winter 2025 in Wimberly, TX, this specialized week-long program is tailored for PhD students in theoretical and experimental physical chemistry. The winter school aims to bridge critical educational gaps identified by the NSF-UKRI Bilateral Workshop on Quantum Information Science in Chemistry. A combination of lectures and tutorial sessions will be used to develop both a conceptual and practical understanding of topics at the intersection of quantum information and theoretical chemistry. More advanced discussions will be fostered around research talks from selected participants. To enhance accessibility, this initiative will create freely available, student-edited course materials to extend educational benefits to the broader scientific community.

The Winter School will systematically address topics at the intersection of quantum information science (QIS) and chemical dynamics. Through an intensive mix of lectures, tutorials, and collaborative learning, this winter school will offer focused instruction covering areas such as quantum light-matter interactions (both strong and weak coupling regimes), stochastic quantum dyn
