The Born–Oppenheimer approximation underlies much of chemical simulation and provides
the framework defining the potential energy surfaces that are used for much of our pictorial …

Coherence refers to correlations in waves. Because matter has a wave-particle nature, it is
unsurprising that coherence has deep connections with the most contemporary issues in …

Starting with the simplest semiclassical approaches and ending with the description of
complex fully quantum-mechanical methods for quantum transport analysis of state-of-the …

I. Introduction Chemical change is brought about by the motion of electrons and nuclei within
reactingmolecules. The description of this internal motion is the subject of molecular …

The ab initio multiple spawning (AIMS) method is a time-dependent formulation of quantum
chemistry, whereby the nuclear dynamics and electronic structure problems are solved …

Addressed mainly to physicist and chemical physicist, this textbook is the result of a broad
compilation of current knowledge on analytical properties of Airy functions. In particular, the …

A review is given of the quantum phase-space distribution functions with emphasis on both
the fundamental characteristics and practical applications of the distribution functions. The …

The semiclassical (SC) initial value representation (IVR) provides a potentially practical way
for adding quantum mechanical effects to classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of …

This is a study of simple kinetic models of open systems, in the sense of systems that can
exchange conserved particles with their environment. The system is assumed to be one …

Wigner functions and Weyl transforms of operators offer a formulation of quantum mechanics
that is equivalent to the standard approach given by the Schrödinger equation. We give a …
