Projections of quantum observables onto classical degrees of freedom in mixed quantum/classical simulations: Understanding why linear response fails for the photoexcited hydrated electron
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a general analytic method for understanding how specific motions of a classical bath influence the dynamics of quantum mechanical observables in mixed quantum/classical molecular dynamics simulations. We apply our method and develop expressions for the special case of quantum solvation, allowing us to examine how specific classical solvent motions couple to the equilibrium energy fluctuations and nonequilibrium energy relaxation of a quantum mechanical solute. As a first application of our formalism, we investigate the motions of classical water underlying the equilibrium and nonequilibrium excited-state solvent response functions of the hydrated electron; the results allow us to explain why the linear response approximation fails for this system.

متن کاملImplication of Quantum Effects on Non-Linear Propagation of Electron Plasma Solitons
We have studied the electron exchange-correlation effect on thecharacteristics of the two-component unmagnetized dense quantum plasma withstreaming motion. For this purpose, we have used the quantum hydrodynamic model(including the effects of a quantum statistical Fermi electron temperature) for studyingthe propagation of an electrostatic electron plasma waves in such th...
متن کاملWhen the classical & quantum mechanical considerations hint to a single point; a microscopic particle in a one dimensional box with two infinite walls and a linear potential inside it
In this paper we have solved analytically the Schrödinger equation for a microscopic particle in a one-dimensional box with two infinite walls, which the potential function inside it, has a linear form. Based on the solutions of this special quantum mechanical system, we have shown that as the quantum number approaches infinity the expectation values of microscopic particle position and square ...
متن کاملConstacyclic Codes over Group Ring (Zq[v])/G
Recently, codes over some special finite rings especially chain rings have been studied. More recently, codes over finite non-chain rings have been also considered. Study on codes over such rings or rings in general is motivated by the existence of some special maps called Gray maps whose images give codes over fields. Quantum error-correcting (QEC) codes play a crucial role in protecting quantum ...
متن کاملQuantum–biased umbrella sampling for mixed quantum/classical simulation: The potential of mean force between hydrated electrons
We introduce a simulation method, called quantum–biased umbrella sampling (QBUS), that extends umbrella sampling (Umb-S) to quantum mechanical degrees of freedom. The method is based on classical Umb-S, in which a bias potential is applied to cause rare configurations to be sampled preferentially and the effects of the bias are later removed analytically. Standard Umb-S cannot be used when the ...
