Ring-polymer molecular dynamics rate-theory in the deep-tunneling regime: Connection with semiclassical instanton theory.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the ring-polymer molecular dynamics (RPMD) method is equivalent to an automated and approximate implementation of the "Im F" version of semiclassical instanton theory when used to calculate reaction rates in the deep-tunneling regime.
Journal ArticleDOI

Concerted hydrogen-bond breaking by quantum tunneling in the water hexamer prism

TL;DR: Measurements of splitting patterns in rotational transitions of the water hexamer prism are reported, and quantum simulations are used to show that they result from geared and antigeared rotations of a pair of water molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Communication: Nonadiabatic ring-polymer molecular dynamics

TL;DR: A new method based on an extension of ring-polymer molecular dynamics is proposed for the calculation of thermal correlation functions in electronically nonadiabatic systems that scales well with the number of degrees of freedom and will be applicable to simulate certain nonadiABatic processes in complex molecular systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ring-polymer instanton method for calculating tunneling splittings.

TL;DR: The semiclassical instanton expression for the tunneling splitting between two symmetric wells is rederived, starting from the ring-polymer representation of the quantum partition function, which leads to simpler mathematics by replacing functional determinants with matrix determinants.
