Wavelets offer a flexible quantum basis for molecular vibrations, enabling accurate calculations in complex systems. This study demonstrates their use in reducing computational cost for coupled vibrational modes.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum chemistry
  • Computational physics
  • Molecular spectroscopy

Background:

  • Wavelets offer unique properties like orthogonality and localization, making them suitable for quantum mechanical problems.
  • Traditional quantum bases face challenges with exponential scaling in multidimensional systems, limiting exact calculations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore wavelets as a flexible and systematically improvable quantum basis for coupled anharmonic vibrational modes in polyatomic molecules.
  • To investigate the efficiency of wavelet bases in reducing computational complexity for multidimensional quantum calculations.

Main Methods:

  • Employed the molecular self-consistent-field plus configuration-interaction (SCF+CI) method within a wavelet basis framework.
  • Examined both two-dimensional Cartesian and three-dimensional curvilinear coordinate systems using Daubechies and symmlet wavelets.
