✦ Synopsis


Gaussian wavepackets in phase space, which are constructed to have the exact first and second moments with respect to the coordinates and momenta, are used to develop self-consistent equations of motion for the semiclassical time evolution of interacting anharmonic systems. The equations apply to pure as well as to mixed states and may, therefore, be pa~~ularly useful for molecular dynamics in condensed phases.
