Abstract
An algorithm is described for quantum dynamics where an Ehrenfest potential is combined with fully quantum nuclear motion (Quantum-Ehrenfest, Qu-Eh). The method is related to the single-set variational multi-configuration Gaussian approach (vMCG) but has the advantage that only a single quantum chemistry computation is required at each time step since there is only a single time-dependent potential surface. Also shown is the close relationship to the “exact factorization method.” The quantum Ehrenfest method is compared with vMCG for study of electron dynamics in a modified bismethylene-adamantane cation system. Illustrative examples of electron-nuclear dynamics are presented for a distorted allene system and for HCCI+ where one has a degenerate Π system.
