Quantum trajectory ensembles simulate complex chemical reactions with many vibrational modes. This method accurately models reaction dynamics, revealing probabilities for systems up to 25 modes.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum dynamics
  • Chemical reaction theory
  • Computational chemistry

Background:

  • Understanding time-dependent reaction dynamics in complex molecular systems is crucial.
  • Accurate modeling requires accounting for multidimensional effects and couplings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and apply a quantum trajectory method for studying time-dependent reaction dynamics.
  • To investigate the influence of up to 25 vibrational modes on reaction probabilities.

Main Methods:

  • Evolved ensembles of quantum trajectories in curvilinear reaction path coordinates.
  • Retained all coupling terms, including reaction path curvature.
  • Used least squares fitting in a contracted basis set for spatial derivatives.
  • Evaluated reaction probabilities via Monte Carlo integration.
