Mixed quantum-classical dynamics
Mixed quantum-classical (MQC) dynamics is a class of computational theoretical chemistry methods tailored to simulate non-adiabatic (NA) processes in molecular and supramolecular chemistry. Such methods are characterized by:
- Propagation of nuclear dynamics through classical trajectories;
- Propagation of the electrons (or fast particles) through quantum methods;
- A feedback algorithm between the electronic and nuclear subsystems to recover nonadiabatic information.
