Talk on hydrogen bonding

Tomorrow I am giving a talk A unified picture of hydrogen bonding and proton transfer via a two state Hamiltonian.
It is based on this paper. The main point is

A simple model Hamiltonian
with just two parameters
is physically and chemically transparent
gives
a unified picture of different types of H-bonds and of proton transfer
insight into the H-bond puzzle
a semi-quantitative description of empirical correlations between bond lengths, binding energies, vibrational frequencies….

Can AI solve quantum-many body problems?

I find it difficult to wade through all the hype about AI, along with the anecdotes about its failings to reliably answer basic questions. G...
