报告摘要:The topics covered in this walk are: Born-Oppenheimer approximation; quantum vs classical description of atomic motion; nonadiabatic (derivative) coupling; mean-field theory vs surface hopping; simple models; decoherence and detailed balance problems. Ehrenfest dynamics, Landau-Zener and Miller-George transition probability formulas, fewest switches surface hopping, quantum-classical Lie bracket, coupling classical particles to quantum Bohmiantrajectories, solution to trivial crossings problem.

报告人简介:

Oleg V. Prezhdo obtained a Diploma in Theoretical Chemistry in 1991 from Kharkiv National University, Ukraine, under Anatoly Luzanov from the quantum chemistry school originated by Vladimir Fock. He completed his Ph.D. with Peter Rossky at the University of Texas, Austin. After a postdoctoral fellowship with John Tully at Yale University, he joined the chemistry department at the University of Washington in 1998, achieving Associate and Full Professor in 2002 and 2005. In 2008, he was elected Fellow of the American Physical Society, in 2010 was offered Senior Professorship at the University of Rochester, and in 2014 moved to the University of Southern California. He is serving as editor for the Journal of Physical Chemistry since 2008, the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters since 2011, and Surface Science Reports since 2012. Recipient of multiple national and international awards, he held invited professorships in France, Germany, Japan, Ukraine and China. His current Web-of-Science h-index is 65. His research interests range from fundamental aspects of semiclassical physics, to excitation dynamics in nano-scale and biological systems.
