The intrinsic structures of biomolecules in the gas phase may not reflect their native solution geometries. Microsolvation of the molecules bridges the two environments, enabling a tracking of molecular structural changes upon hydration at the atomistic le ...
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 ...
The Loschmidt echo is a measure of quantum irreversibility and is determined by the fidelity amplitude of an imperfect time-reversal protocol. Fidelity amplitude plays an important role both in the foundations of quantum mechanics and its applications, suc ...
Linear and nonlinear spectroscopy techniques are widely used to study numerous important chemical and physical processes. However, the interpretation of these experimental spectra often becomes very complicated because a particular spectrum constitutes a m ...
Simulating the exact quantum dynamics of realistic interacting systems is presently a task beyond reach but for the smallest of them, as the numerical cost for solving the time-dependent Schrodinger equation scales exponentially with the number of degrees ...
Two of the most successful methods that are presently available for simulating the quantum dynamics of condensed phase systems are centroid molecular dynamics (CMD) and ring polymer molecular dynamics (RPMD). Despite their conceptual differences, practical ...
Characterizing and predicting the nuclear dynamics of electronically excited molecules is of paramount importance to the understanding of photochemical and photophysical processes in molecules and to the development of new technologies in domains like sola ...
We recently showed that the dephasing representation (DR) provides an efficient tool for computing ultrafast electronic spectra and that further acceleration is possible with cellularization [M. Šulc and J. Vaníček, Mol. Phys. 110, 945 (2012)]. Here, we fo ...
