Sixty-Sixth Sanibel Symposium
“The Theory Meeting for Theoreticians”
February 21st – February 26th, 2027
The 66th Sanibel meeting will be held February 21st to February 26th, 2027 at the Embassy Suites by Hilton hotel in St. Augustine Beach, FL. The meeting, which is the principal gathering for the field of quantum theory of atoms, molecules and materials, traces its origin to meetings held annually on Sanibel Island, FL from 1961-1977. After several years at St. Simons Island, GA, (2005-2022), the meeting returned to Florida in 2023. Among the focus topics in the 2027 meeting will be: machine learning and quantum computing, advances in areas ranging from density functional theory to quantum dynamics, sampling of complex energy landscapes, theoretical treatment of electronic resonances, AI for materials discovery and accelerated simulations, neural quantum states, and the future for ab initio quantum chemistry. Special “hot topic” sessions will be held in which emerging ideas and results will be presented.”
In addition, there will be other sessions organized to guarantee that Sanibel will have its pulse on the most recent, important developments in electronic structure in the context of gas-phase molecules, condensed matter, biochemical applications and extensions to dynamics.
Please see the SPEAKER INSTRUCTIONS for more information about submitting presentations that will be considered for the “hot topics” session.
There will be two social events for the attendees and accompanying persons. Please make housing arrangements promptly, as we expect a large attendance. Also note that there are several daily flights to Jacksonville, Orlando, and Daytona Beach airports. All are within two hours drive of the Symposium venue.
All attendees are encouraged to submit papers to the Sanibel Proceedings, published by Molecular Physics. All papers will be peer reviewed. The deadline for submitted papers from the 66th Symposium (2027) is April 30, 2027.
We look forward to seeing you!
