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…
Electronic Structure in a Phase Space, non-Born-Oppenheimer Framework: Geometric Forces and Moody-Shapere-Wilzcek Revisited
Mansi Bhati, D. Vale Cofer-Shabica, Jonathan I. Rawlinson +3
The paper introduces a phase‑space electronic‑structure framework that extends the Born‑Oppenheimer approximation by treating electronic states as functions of both nuclear positio…
Symmetry and Topology in Wavepacket Dynamics near Conical Intersections
Christopher Daggett, Jonathan Rawlinson, Lukas Muechler
Whether topology directly shapes chemical dynamics remains an open question in theoretical chemistry. The issue arises because degeneracies of adiabatic electronic states can gener…
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…
Symmetry Breaking as Predicted by a Phase Space Hamiltonian with a Spin Coriolis Potential
Nadine C. Bradbury, Titouan Duston, Zhen Tao +3
We perform electronic structure calculations for a set of molecules with degenerate spin-dependent ground states (CH, CH, O) going beyond the Born…
A phase-space view of vibrational energies without the Born-Oppenheimer framework
Xuezhi Bian, Cameron Khan, Titouan Duston +3
We show that following the standard mantra of quantum chemistry and diagonalizing the Born-Oppenheimer (BO) Hamiltonian is not the optimal means to constru…
