Vibrationally resolved electronic spectra of polyatomic molecules provide valuable information about the quantum properties of both electrons and nuclei. This chapter reviews the recent progress in ab initio semiclassical calculations of such spectra, base ...

We present a numerically exact approach for evaluating vibrationally resolved electronic spectra at finite temperatures using the coherence thermofield dynamics. In this method, which avoids implementing an algorithm for solving the von Neumann equation fo ...

Accurate path integral Monte Carlo or molecular dynamics calculations of isotope effects have until recently been expensive because of the necessity to reduce three types of errors present in such calculations: statistical errors due to sampling, path inte ...

Ab initio electronic structure methods have reached a satisfactory accuracy for the calculation of static properties, but remain too expensive for quantum dynamical calculations. Recently, an efficient semiclassical method was proposed to evaluate the accu ...

Recent experiments have confirmed the importance of nuclear quantum effects even in large biomolecules at physiological temperature. Here we describe how the path integral formalism can be used to describe rigorously the nuclear quantum effects on equilibr ...

We analyze how the choice of the sampling weight affects efficiency of the Monte Carlo evaluation of classical time autocorrelation functions. Assuming uncorrelated sampling or sampling with constant correlation length, we propose a sampling weight for whi ...

Mixed quantum-classical methods, such as surface hopping and Ehrenfest dynamics, have proven useful for describing molecular processes involving multiple electronic states. These methods require propagating many independent trajectories, which is computati ...

We investigate the performance of on-the-fly ab initio (OTF-AI) semiclassical dynamics combined with the thawed Gaussian approximation (TGA) for computing vibrationally resolved absorption and photoelectron spectra. Ammonia is used as a prototype of floppy ...

Choosing an appropriate representation of the molecular Hamiltonian is one of the challenges faced by simulations of the nonadiabatic quantum dynamics around a conical intersection. The adiabatic, exact quasidiabatic, and strictly diabatic representations ...

Due to their very nature, ultrafast phenomena are often accompanied by the occurrence of nonadiabatic effects. From a theoretical perspective, the treatment of nonadiabatic processes makes it necessary to go beyond the (quasi) static picture provided by th ...

A general and rigorous methodology to compute the quantum equilibrium isotope effect is described. Unlike standard approaches, ours does not assume separability of rotational and vibrational motions and does not make the harmonic approximation for vibratio ...

Ultrafast spectroscopy allows molecular dynamics to be resolved on the femtosecond time scale. Whereas such short time scales obviously pose any experimental challenges, they provide an opportunity for semiclassica methods, which are naturally suited for s ...

We propose to measure the importance of spin-orbit couplings (SOCs) in the nonadiabatic molecular quantum dynamics rigorously with quantum ﬁdelity. To make the criterion practical, quantum ﬁdelity is estimated efﬁciently with the multiple-surface dephasing ...

Path integral implementation of the quantum instanton approximation currently belongs among the most accurate methods for computing quantum rate constants and kinetic isotope effects, but its use has been limited due to the rather high computational cost. ...

While rigorous quantum dynamical simulations of many-body systems are extremely difficult (or impossible) due to exponential scaling with dimensionality, the corresponding classical simulations ignore quantum effects. Semiclassical methods are generally mo ...

We propose an algorithm for molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo simulations that uses an interpolation procedure to estimate potential energy values from energies and gradients evaluated previously at points of a simplicial mesh. We chose an interpolation pr ...

Azulene is a prototypical molecule with ananomalousfluorescence from the second excited electronic state,thus violating Kasha’s rule, and with an emission spectrum thatcannot be understood within the Condon approximation. To betterunderstand the photophysi ...

To find out whether the AGO-miRNA complex is more sensitive to the accessibility of a particular region inside the seed match, we analyze in detail the accessibility of a wide set of miRNA binding sites validated by PAR-CLIP and HITS-CLIP experiments. Our ...

Under certain conditions, the ionization of a molecule may create a superposition of electronic states, leading to ultrafast electron dynamics. If controlled, this motion could be used in attochemistry applications, but it has been shown that the decoheren ...
