Mean-Field Ring Polymer Molecular Dynamics (MF-RPMD) is a powerful, efficient, and accurate method for approximate quantum dynamic simulations of multi-level system dynamics. Initial efforts to compute nonadiabatic reaction rates using…

We derive an explicit form for the electronic friction as felt by a molecule near a metal surface for the general case that molecule-metal couplings depend on nuclear coordinates. Our work generalizes a previous study by von Oppen et al…

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…

Electronic friction and Langevin dynamics is a popular mixed quantum-classical method for simulating the nonadiabatic dynamics of molecules interacting with metal surfaces, as it can be computationally more efficient than fully quantum…

Nonadiabatic effects in chemical reaction at metal surfaces, due to excitation of electron-hole pairs, stand at the frontier of the studies of gas-surface reaction dynamics. However, the first principles description of electronic excitation…

We discuss nuclear dynamics at molecule-metal interfaces including non-equilibrium molecular junctions. Starting from the many-body states (pseudoparticle) formulation of the molecule-metal system in the molecular vibronic basis, we…

Molecular adsorbates on metal surfaces exchange energy with substrate phonons and low-lying electron-hole pair excitations. In the limit of weak coupling, electron-hole pair excitations can be seen as exerting frictional forces on…

Accurately modeling gas-surface collision dynamics presents a great challenge for theory, especially in the low energy (or temperature) regime where quantum effects are important. Here, a path integral based non-equilibrium ring polymer…
