On the Classical Description of Nuclear Motion

Chemical Physics 2014-02-06 v1

Abstract

Severe methodological and numerical problems of the traditional quantum mechanical approach to the description of molecular systems are outlined. To overcome these, a simple alternative to the Born-Oppenheimer approximation is presented on the basis of taking the nuclei as classical particles.
