It is a very interesting topic indeed. I plan to work on it after I finish my PhD thesis. I believe that it’s literally one of the most overlooked parts of modern physics. We literally don’t know how to correctly and accurately calculate heavy atoms and molecules and include both special relativity AND electron correlation (and preferably also QED). Somehow most of the physicists left that problem behind and focused on nuclear and high energy physics. I’m my opinion solving it, contrarily to focusing on abstract mathematical theories that are verifiable in energies beyond what humanity will be capable of in next 100 years or so, is truly one of the most challenging, yet verifiable problems of XXI century physics.
