This report presents a new approach for treating the coupling of electrons and nuclei in quantum mechanical calculations for molecules and condensed matter. It includes the standard "Born-Oppenheimer approximation" as a special case but…

The force exerted by the electrons on the nuclei of a current-carrying molecular junction can be manipulated to engineer nanoscale mechanical systems. In the adiabatic regime a peculiarity of these forces is negative friction, responsible…

The exact factorization of the time-dependent electron-nuclear wavefunction has been employed successfully in the field of quantum molecular dynamics simulations for interpreting and simulating light-induced ultrafast processes. In this…

The molecular Schr\"odinger equation is rewritten in terms of non-unitary equations of motion for the nuclei (or electrons) that depend parametrically on the configuration of an ensemble of generally defined electronic (or nuclear)…

A theory of electronic friction is developed using the exact factorization of the electron-nuclear wavefunction. No assumption is made regarding the electronic bath, which can be made of independent or interacting electrons, and the nuclei…

We consider a classical overdamped Brownian particle moving in a symmetric periodic potential. We show that a net particle flow can be produced by adiabatically changing two external periodic potentials with a spatial and a temporal phase…

The interaction between electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom is an important mechanism in nonequilibrium charge transport through molecular nanojunctions. While adiabatic polaron-type coupling has been studied in great detail, new…

We present an approach for carrying out non-adiabatic molecular dynamics simulations of systems in which non-adiabatic transitions arise from the coupling between the classical atomic motions and a quasi-continuum of electronic quantum…

We formulate a time-dependent density functional theory for the coupled dynamics of electrons and nuclei that goes beyond the Born-Oppenheimer (BO) approximation. We prove that the time-dependent marginal nuclear probability density…

We identify peak and valley structures in the exact exchange-correlation potential of time-dependent density functional theory that are crucial for time-resolved electron scattering in a model one-dimensional system. These structures are…

Nuclear quantum effects and non-Born--Oppenheimer effects play a vital role in many chemical and biological processes, motivating the incorporation of such effects into dynamical simulations. In real-time nuclear--electronic orbital…

Molecular rotation, vibration, internal rotation, isomerization, tunneling, intermolecular dynamics of weakly and strongly interacting systems, intra-to-inter-molecular energy transfer, hindered rotation and hindered translation over…

A novel treatment of non-adiabatic couplings is proposed. The derivation starts from the long-known, but not well-known, fact that the wave function of the complete system of elctrons and nuclei can be written, without approximation, as a…

Charge transfer is a fundamental phenomenon in biology and chemistry, and involves the movement of charge through a system driven by nuclear dynamics. Because of the involvement of nuclear motion, it is generally assumed that charge…

We propose a procedure to analyze the relation between the exact factorization of the electron-nuclear wave function and the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. We define the adiabatic limit as the limit of infinite nuclear mass. To this end,…

Reliable trajectory-based nonadiabatic quantum dynamics methods at the atomic level are critical for understanding many important processes in real systems. The paper reports latest progress of nonadiabatic field (NaF), a conceptually novel…

It was recently shown that the exact factorization of the electron-nuclear wavefunction allows the construction of a Schr\"odinger equation for the electronic system, in which the potential contains exactly the effect of coupling to the…

The molecular junction geometry is modelled in terms of nuclear degrees of freedom that are embedded in a stochastic quantum environment of non-equilibrium electrons. Time-evolution of the molecular geometry is governed via a mean force, a…

Both the physical picture of the dynamics of atoms and molecules in intense infrared fields and its theoretical description use the concept of electron trajectories. Here we address a key question which arises in this context: Are…

Incorporating nuclear quantum effects into nonadiabatic dynamics remains a significant challenge. Herein we introduce new nonadiabatic dynamics approaches based on the recently developed constrained nuclear-electronic orbital (CNEO) theory.…
