Anhydrous sodium hydroxide, a common and structurally simple compound, shows spectacular isotope effects: NaOD undergoes a first-order transition, which is absent in NaOH. By combining ab initio electronic structure calculations with path…
Large amplitude collective motion is investigated for a model pairing Hamiltonian containing an avoided level crossing. A classical theory of collective motion for the adiabatic limit is applied utilising either a time-dependent mean-field…
Structural and thermodynamic properties of high-density amorphous (HDA) ice have been studied by path-integral molecular dynamics simulations in the isothermal-isobaric ensemble. Interatomic interactions were modeled by using the effective…
According to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics, particles which are localized in space by a bounding potential must have a finite distribution of momenta. This leads, even in the lowest-possible energy state, to…
We study hybrid atom-molecule quantum walks in one-dimensional optical lattices with two interacting bosonic atoms which may be converted into a molecule. The hybrid atom-molecule energy bands include a continuum band and two isolated…
The binding energy of nuclear matter including exchange and pionic effects is calculated in a quark-meson coupling model with massive constituent quarks. As in the case with elementary nucleons in QHD, exchange effects are repulsive.…
Including quantum mechanical effects on the dynamics of nuclei in the condensed phase is challenging, because the complexity of exact methods grows exponentially with the number of quantum degrees of freedom. Efforts to circumvent these…
The evolution of a quantum system is governed by the associated Hamiltonian. A system defined by a parameter-dependent Hamiltonian acquires a geometric phase when adiabatically evolved. Such an adiabatic evolution of a system having…
The quantum dynamics of Excited State Intramolecular Proton Transfer (ESIPT) is studied using a non-Markovian open quantum system perspective. Models of 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl) benzothiazole (HBT) and 10-hydroxybenzo[h]quinoline (HBQ) are…
We consider a polaron model where molecular \emph{rotations} are important. Here, the usual hopping between neighboring sites is affected directly by the electron-phonon interaction via a {\em twist-dependent} hopping amplitude. This model…
This paper explores the interplay between quantum nuclear motion and anharmonicity, which causes nontrivial effects on the structural and dynamical characteristics of silicene, a two-dimensional (2D) allotrope of silicon with interesting…
We obtain in a direct and rigorous manner a transition from a stable molecular hydrogen $nH_2$ single chain to the quasiatomic two-chain $2nH$ state. We devise an original method composed of an exact diagonalization in the Fock space…
The present manuscript revisits one of the earliest approaches to treating molecular systems within the Schr\"odinger formalism of quantum mechanics: the Heitler-London (HL) model. Originally proposed in 1927 and based on a linear…
Nuclear binding energies and two-neutron separation energies are analyzed starting from the liquid-drop model and the nuclear shell model in order to describe the global trends of the above observables. We subsequently concentrate on the…
We have investigated thermodynamic and dynamic properties as well as the dielectric constant of water-metha\-nol model mixtures in the entire range of composition by using constant pressure molecular dynamics simulations at ambient…
The nature of the phonon triplet in the region of OH-stretching modes in hydrogen-bonded materials is often explained by the interplay of OH-stretching modes and combinations and overtones of OH-bending modes. In order to elucidate the both…
Ab initio simulations that account for nuclear quantum effects have been used to examine the order-disorder transition in squaric acid, a prototypical H-bonded antiferroelectric crystal. Our simulations reproduce the >100 K difference in…
We derive a Hierarchical Equations of Motion (HEOM) description of nonadiabatic Herzberg-Teller type coupling effects and of non-Condon effects in a system of electronic transitions interacting with intra- and inter-molecular vibrational…
The role of nuclear quantum effects on the adsorption of molecular hydrogen in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been investigated on grounds of Grand-Canonical Quantized Liquid Density-Functional Theory (GC-QLDFT) calculations. For this…
Nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) arising from the light mass of hydrogen can influence the structure and stability of hydrogen-bonded biomolecules, yet their role in determining peptide and protein folding remains unclear. Experiments show…
