In this paper, we consider the time-dependent Born-Oppenheimer approximation (BOA) of a classical quantum molecule involving a possibly large number of nuclei and electrons, described by a Schr\"odinger equation. In the spirit of Born and…
Born-Oppenheimer dynamics is shown to provide an accurate approximation of time-independent Schr\"odinger observables for a molecular system with an electron spectral gap, in the limit of large ratio of nuclei and electron masses, without…
We apply the Born--Oppenheimer approximation to a harmonic diatomic molecule with one electron. We compare the exact and approximate results not only for the internal degrees of freedom but also for the motion of the center of mass. We…
We explain why the conventional argument for deriving the time-dependent Born-Oppenheimer approximation is incomplete and review recent mathematical results, which clarify the situation and at the same time provide a systematic scheme for…
The difference of the values of observables for the time-independent Schroedinger equation, with matrix valued potentials, and the values of observables for ab initio Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics, of the ground state, depends on the…
The local conservation of a physical quantity whose distribution changes with time is mathematically described by the continuity equation. The corresponding time parameter, however, is defined with respect to an idealized classical clock.…
We construct approximate solutions to the time--dependent Schr\"odinger equation $i \hbar (\partial \psi)/(\partial t) = - (\hbar^2)/2 \Delta \psi + V \psi$ for small values of $\hbar$. If $V$ satisfies appropriate analyticity and growth…
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…
Ehrenfest, Born-Oppenheimer, Langevin and Smoluchowski dynamics are shown to be accurate approximations of time-independent Schr\"odinger observables for a molecular system avoiding caustics, in the limit of large ratio of nuclei and…
We generalize the standard Born-Oppenheimer approximation to the case of open quantum systems. We define the zeroth order Born-Oppenheimer approximation of an open quantum system as the regime in which its effective Hamiltonian can be…
This paper is dedicated to the efficient numerical computation of solutions to the 1D stationary Schr\"odinger equation in the highly oscillatory regime. We compute an approximate solution based on the well-known WKB-ansatz, which relies on…
The goal of this paper is to understand how exponential-time approximation algorithms can be obtained from existing polynomial-time approximation algorithms, existing parameterized exact algorithms, and existing parameterized approximation…
We propose an approximate solution of the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation using the method of stationary states combined with a variational matrix method for finding the energies and eigenstates. We illustrate the effectiveness of the…
This paper introduces a novel method for approximating the dynamics of a large autonomous system projected onto a fixed subspace. The core contribution is a novel recursive algorithm to construct an effective time-dependent generator that…
The so-called Born-Huang ansatz is a fundamental tool in the context of ab-initio molecular dynamics, viz., it allows to effectively separate fast and slow degrees of freedom and thus treating electrons and nuclei at different mathematical…
We propose a unified approach for different exponential perturbation techniques used in the treatment of time-dependent quantum mechanical problems, namely the Magnus expansion, the Floquet--Magnus expansion for periodic systems, the…
In this paper, we develop new tools and connections for exponential time approximation. In this setting, we are given a problem instance and a parameter $\alpha>1$, and the goal is to design an $\alpha$-approximation algorithm with the…
We use the optimized trigonometric finite basis method to find energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the time-independent Schrodinger equation with high accuracy. We apply this method to the quartic anharmonic oscillator and the harmonic…
Based on the quantum trajectory approach, we extend the Born-Oppenheimer (BO) approximation from closed quantum system to open quantum system, where the open quantum system is described by a master equation in Lindblad form. The BO…
We analyze the time reversible Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (TRBOMD) scheme, which preserves the time reversibility of the Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics even with non-convergent self-consistent field iteration. In the linear…
