A Semiclassical Framework for Mixed Quantum Classical Dynamics

Abstract

Semiclassical approximations for quantum dynamic simulations in complex chemical systems range from rigorously accurate methods that are computationally expensive to methods that exhibit near-classical scaling with system size but are limited in their ability to describe quantum effects. In practical studies of high-dimensional reactions, neither extreme is the best choice: frequently a high-level quantum mechanical description is only required for a handful of modes, while the majority of environment modes that do not play a key role in the reactive event of interest are well served with a lower level of theory. In this feature we introduce Modified Filinov filtration as a powerful tool for mixed quantum-classical simulations in a uniform semiclassical framework.
