Abstract

En 中文
We have benchmarked the surface hopping method to capture nuclear quantum effects in the spin-Boson model in the deep tunneling regime. The thermal populations and the rate constants calculated using the surface hopping method are compared with those calculated using Boltzmann theory and Fermi's golden rule, respectively. Additionally, we have proposed a simple kinetic model that partially includes nuclear quantum effects within Marcus theory, and the results of the surface hopping method are analyzed under the framework of this simple kinetic model. A broad range of parameters are investigated to identify the regimes for the successes and failures of the surface hopping method. This work shows that with the accurate treatment of decoherence and velocity reversal, surface hopping can generally capture the nuclear quantum effects in the deep tunneling and weak diabatic coupling regime.
