A Perspective on Phase Space Electronic Structure Theory : From Its Surface Hopping Origins Through To Its Future Promise

Joseph E. Subotnik, Ethan Alguire, Nicole Bellonzi +20

We trace the history of phase space electronic structure theory (PSEST), high- lighting how this powerful approach emerged from fundamental questions in semi- classical surface hop…

Electron Transfer, Diabatic Couplings and Vibronic Energy Gaps in a Phase Space Electronic Structure Framework

Zain Zaidi, Xuezhi Bian, Joseph E. Subotnik

We investigate the well-known Shin-Metiu model for an electronic crossing, using both a standard Born-Huang (BH) framework and a novel phase space (PS) electronic Hamiltonian frame…

Recovering Exact Vibrational Energies Within a Phase Space Electronic Structure Framework

Xinchun Wu, Xuezhi Bian, Jonathan Rawlinson +2

In recent years, there has been a push to go beyond Born-Oppenheimer theory and build electronic states from a phase space perspective, i.e. parameterize electronic states by both…
