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

We revisit the three-body problem in quantum mechanics in two and three dimensions, generating both exact eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian and a series of approximat…

Phase Space Electronic Structure Theory: From Diatomic Lambda-Doubling to Macroscopic Einstein-de Haas

Linqing Peng, Tian Qiu, Nadine Bradbury +5

-doubling of diatomic molecules is a subtle microscopic phenomenon that has long attracted the attention of experimental groups, insofar as rotation of molecular $\textit{nuclei…

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…

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…

A Phase Space Approach to Vibrational Circular Dichroism

Titouan Duston, Zhen Tao, Xuezhi Bian +6

We show empirically that a phase-space non-Born-Oppenheimer electronic Hamiltonian approach to quantum chemistry (where the electronic Hamiltonian is parameterized by both nuclear…

Practical Phase-Space Electronic Hamiltonians for Ab Initio Dynamics

Zhen Tao, Tian Qiu, Mansi Bhati +5

Modern electronic structure theory is built around the Born-Oppenheimer approximation and the construction of an electronic Hamiltonian H_{el}(X) that depends on the nuclear positi…
