β¦ Synopsis
The classical structure underlying the quantum mechanics of molecular vibrations is illustrated by reference to changes in vibrational energy distributions induced by increased anharmonic coupling as the energy increases. Specific applications to Fermi resonance models and to the level structures arising from cylindrically symmetrical saddle points are used to illustrate the relevance of classical bifurcation analysis, catastrophe theory, and quantum monodromy.

An explicit and symplectic integrator called PICKABACK for quantum-classical molecular dynamics is presented. The integration scheme is time reversible and unitary in the quantum part. We use the Lie formalism in order to construct a formal evolution operator which is split by the Strang splitting y
A numerxal study of the energetics and tune evolution of the quantum-mechamcal Henon-Heiles system does not exhibit any manifestation of the classical transition from quasiperiodic to chaotic motion. Chaotic quantum-mechsnical dynamics is manifested by rapid dephasing of initially coherent wavepacke
A method is presented to interpolate the potential energy function for a part of a system consisting of a few degrees of freedom, such as a molecule Ε½ . in solution. The method is based on a modified finite element FE interpolation scheme. The aim is to save computer time when expensive methods such
