Rare nonadiabatic events play a central role in photochemistry but remain difficult to simulate because excited-state dynamics is computationally demanding and often stochastic. Here we introduce a deterministic and time-reversible…

We present a nonadiabatic classical-trajectory approach that offers the best of both worlds between fewest-switches surface hopping (FSSH) and quasiclassical mapping dynamics. This mapping approach to surface hopping (MASH) propagates the…

We implement a rare-event sampling scheme for quantifying the rate of thermally-activated nonadiabatic transitions in the condensed phase. Our QM/MM methodology uses the recently developed INAQS package to interface between an elementary…

Nonadiabatic dynamics methods are an essential tool for investigating photochemical processes. In the context of employing first principles electronic structure techniques, such simulations can be carried out in a practical manner using…

We present a method to study rare nonadiabatic dynamics in open quantum systems using transition path sampling and quantum jump trajectories. As with applications of transition path sampling to classical dynamics, the method does not rely…

We present a rare event sampling scheme applicable to coupled electronic excited states. In particular, we extend the forward flux sampling (FFS) method for rare event sampling to a nonadiabatic version (NAFFS) that uses the trajectory…

In this work, we describe various improved implementations of the mapping approach to surface hopping (MASH) for simulating nonadiabatic dynamics. These include time-reversible and piecewise-continuous integrators, which is only formally…

Recently, the mapping approach to surface hopping (MASH) was proposed as a method to simulate the non-adiabatic dynamics of two-level systems. It was shown that the method possesses many desirable qualities, both theoretically and through…

Mixed-quantum-classical molecular dynamics simulation implies an effective measurement on the electronic states owing to continuously tracking the atomic forces.Based on this insight, we propose a quantum trajectory mean-field approach for…

We present a means of studying rare reactive pathways in open quantum systems using Transition Path Theory and ensembles of quantum jump trajectories. This approach allows for elucidation of reactive paths for dissipative, nonadiabatic…

I give an overview of rare event simulation techniques to generate dynamical pathways across high free energy barriers. The methods on which I will concentrate are the reactive flux approach, transition path sampling, (replica-exchange)…

The quantum-classical Liouville equation offers a rigorous approach to nonadiabatic quantum dynamics based on surface hopping type trajectories. However, in practice the applicability of this approach has been limited to short times owing…

In response to a community prediction challenge, we simulate the nonadiabatic dynamics of cyclobutanone using the mapping approach to surface hopping (MASH). We consider the first 500 fs of relaxation following photo-excitation to the S2…

Nonadiabatic molecular dynamics is a key technique for investigating a broad range of photochemical and photophysical processes. Among the established approaches, surface hopping schemes are widely used and can be easily integrated with…

Fewest-switches surface hopping is studied in the context of quantum-classical Liouville dynamics. Both approaches are mixed quantum-classical theories that provide a way to describe and simulate the nonadiabatic quantum dynamics of…

Chemical relaxation phenomena, including photochemistry and electron transfer processes, form a vigorous area of research in which nonadiabatic dynamics plays a fundamental role. Here, we show that for nonadiabatic dynamics with two…

It is well known that fewest-switches surface hopping (FSSH) fails to correctly capture the quadratic scaling of rate constants with diabatic coupling in the weak-coupling limit, as expected from Fermi's golden rule and Marcus theory. To…

An extension of the CCS-method [Chem. Phys. 2004, 304, p. 103-120] for simulating non-adiabatic dynamics with quantum effects of the nuclei is put forward. The time-dependent Schr\"{o}dinger equation for the motion of the nuclei is solved…

We develop a multi-state generalisation of the recently proposed mapping approach to surface hopping (MASH) for the simulation of electronically nonadiabatic dynamics. This new approach extends the original MASH method to be able to treat…

Atypical, rare trajectories of dynamical systems are important: they are often the paths for chemical reactions, the haven of (relative) stability of planetary systems, the rogue waves that are detected in oil platforms, the structures that…
