Theoretical Studies of Quantum Dynamics
Using the FPF method, we have carried out accurate path integral simulations of the primary charge separation in bacterial photosynthesis. The process is modeled in terms of three coupled electronic states corresponding to the photoexcited special pair, the reduced accessory bacteriochlorophyll and …

The semiclassical limit of quantum dynamics
We study the ħ→0 limit of the quantum dynamics determined by the Hamiltonian H(ħ) = -(ħ²/2m)Δ + Ｖ on L²(ℝ<sup>n</sup>) for a large class of potentials. By convolving with certain Gaussian states we obtain classically determined asymptotic behavior of the quantum evolution of states of compact …

Quantum Dynamics With Classical and Quantum Trajectories
The forward-backward semiclassical dynamics (FBSD) approximation provides a rigorous and practically useful methodology for simulating the dynamics of condensed phase systems that exhibit quantum mechanical effects. It is shown that FBSD autocorrelation functions of momentum and position-dependent …

Anomalous quantum dynamics in scarred and integrable systems
Generic quantum systems are expected to reach local thermal equilibrium under their unitary dynamics starting from any initial state. This thesis presents scenarios in which such thermalization does not occur. Firstly, we establish the quantum integrability of the central spin-1 XX model by …

Theoretical methods for the study of quantum dynamics
… theoretical methods for the computation of quantum dynamical quantities are formulated, implemented, and applied, in the overall context of overcoming the exponential scaling property of quantum mechanics. The convergence of the approximate forward-backward semiclassical dynamics (FBSD) …

Path integral methods for quantum dynamics in condensed phases
Quantum mechanical effects play an important role in dynamics of condensed phases. It is also well known that the difficulty of solving the full Schrödinger equation grows exponentially with time. One approach to cope up with this difficulty is to restrict quantum treatment to a few particles …

Quantum dynamics in the condensed phase: path integrals, master equations and purity
Rigorous approaches to the dynamics of quantum systems in large dissipative environments are extremely challenging, owing to the well-known exponential scaling. The work reported here builds up on existing highly accurate methods developed in our group, namely the quasi-adiabatic propagator (QuAPI) …
