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…

A Conceptual Shift In Our Understanding of Degenerate Radical Spin Systems: Spin-Rotation Coupling Turned On Its Head

Linqing Peng, Titouan Duston, Nadine Bradbury +4

For most chemists, Kramers' degeneracy refers to the fact that for any radical system, every potential energy surface is at least doubly degenerate (with spin up and spin down, tim…

The Phase-Space Way To Electronic Structure Theory and Subsequently Chemical Dynamics

Xuezhi Bian, Titouan Duston, Nadine Bradbury +6

Phase-space electronic structure theory offers up a new and powerful approach for tackling problems with coupled nuclear-electronic dynamics in a fashion that goes beyond Born-Oppe…

Conical Intersections and Electronic Momentum As Viewed From Phase Space Electronic Structure Theory

Titouan Duston, Nadine Bradbury, Zhen Tao +1

We investigate the structure of a prototypical two-state conical intersection (BeH) using a phase space electronic Hamiltonian $\hat{H}_{PS}(\bR,\bP)$ that goes beyond the Born…

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…

Can The Mystery of The Born-Oppenheimer Electronic Current Density Be Explained With A Simple Phase Space Electronic Hamiltonian? Yes (And A Lot More Too)

Zhen Tao, Titouan Duston, Zheng Pei +4

We show that a phase space electronic Hamiltonian , parameterized by both nuclear position and momentum , can recover…

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 Basis-Free Phase Space Electronic Hamiltonian That Recovers Beyond Born-Oppenheimer Electronic Momentum and Current Density

Zhen Tao, Tian Qiu, Xuezhi Bian +1

We present a phase-space electronic Hamiltonian (parameterized by both nuclear position and momentum ) that boosts each electron into the mo…

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…
