On the mass of atoms in molecules: Beyond the Born-Oppenheimer approximation

Arne Scherrer, Federica Agostini, Daniel Sebastiani +2

Describing the dynamics of nuclei in molecules requires a potential energy surface, which is traditionally provided by the Born-Oppenheimer or adiabatic approximation. However, we…

An Exact Factorization Perspective on Quantum Interferences in Nonadiabatic Dynamics

Basile F. E. Curchod, Federica Agostini, E. K. U. Gross

Nonadiabatic quantum interferences emerge whenever nuclear wavefunctions in different electronic states meet and interact in a nonadiabatic region. In this work, we analyze how non…
