Academician Pan Yishan expressed that, at a crucial time for Liaoning University's "Double First-Class" construction and during the university’s efforts to contribute to the revitalization of Liaoning, the School of Physics of Liaoning University was honored to host this academic conference. This reflects the high recognition and full trust of the organizers in Liaoning University, and he extended sincere thanks to the leaders, experts, and scholars for their support and affection for the university's physics discipline. Professor Wang Jianguo pointed out that the year 2024 marks not only the 60th anniversary of the successful explosion of China’s first atomic bomb but also the centenary of the birth of our distinguished scientists Deng Jiaxian, Zhu Guangya, and Huang Zuqia. At this special time, representatives of faculty members and students from across the country are showcasing the latest research achievements in the field of computational atomic and molecular physics through academic exchanges. This has significant meaning for inspiring scientific innovation, especially for the growth of young scholars. The opening ceremony was chaired by Professor Li Yongqing, Dean of the School of Physics of Liaoning University. The ceremony was also attended by Professor Ma Fengcai, former Vice President of Liaoning University; Professor Dong Chenzhong, former Vice President of Northwest Normal University; Professor Liu Yufang, former Vice President of Henan Normal University; Professor Meng Qingtian, Vice Chair of the Committee and Professor at Shandong Normal University; Professor Qu Yizhi, Vice Chair of the Committee and Professor of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences; Professor Song Yuzhi, Secretary-General of the Committee and Professor of Shandong Normal University; and Professors Ding Yong and Liu Shixing, Vice Deans of the School of Physics of Liaoning University.
