• by contrast, S1 lifetime of pyrene is ∼10−6 s – here, deactivation occurs byfluorescence and intersystem crossing(S → T )
• Kasha’s Rule: luminescence observedexclusively from lowest excited state(S1)

Conical intersections (CoIn’s)as landmark topology
• Conical intersection topologiesare highly anharmonic
• Extreme breakdown of theBorn-Oppenheimer approximation
• The electronic decay at a CoIn is ultrafast(femtosecond to picosecond scale)
• CoIn’s are ubiquitous (Truhlar/Mead:“Principle of non-rareness of CoIn’s”)
• Polyatomic molecules; Jahn-Tellereffect in solids
CoIn =photochemicalfunnel

Quantum dynamics – basics
• Wavepackets correspond to coherent superposition states
Ψ(x, t) =∑n
anϕn(x)exp
(−i
hEnt
)
• For example, for a harmonic oscillator:
ϕn(x) = NnHn(y)exp(−y2/2) ; y = (mω/h)
1/2x ; Nn = (1/2
nn!π
1/2)
1/2
En = hω(n + 1/2)
• For a given eigenstate ϕn, all observables are independent of time (i.e.,the state is stationary)
• A coherent superposition of at least two eigenstates is required toobserve a time dependence of the observables, e.g., 〈x〉(t).

Quantum dynamics – basics / cont’d
• The time evolution of the wavepacket Ψ(x, t) is given in terms of thetime-dependent Schrodinger equation (TDSE):
ih∂Ψ
∂t= HΨ =
(−h2
2m
∂2
∂x2+ V (x)
)Ψ
• Particular solution, for eigenstates:
Ψ(x, t) = ϕn(x)exp(−i
hEnt
)• Examples which allow for analytical solutions: particle-in-a-box, freeparticle wavepacket, Gaussian wavepackets
• In general, we need to integrate the time-dependent Schrodingerequation numerically – in that case, the knowledge of the eigenstatesis not necessary 19
![Page 20: Theoretical Photochemistry WiSe 2017/18 · Literature 1.P. W. Atkins and R. Friedman, Molecular Quantum Mechanics, 5th Edition, Oxford University Press (2011). 2.D.

Eigenstate solution: “separation of variables”
• assume that solutions of the TDSE exist which can be written in productform,
Ψ(x, t) = ψ(x)χ(t)
• such that ∂Ψ/∂t = χ(t)ψ(x), and
ihχ(t)
χ(t)=
(− h2
2m∇2 + V )ψ(x)
ψ(x)
• since the l.h.s. is only a function of t and the r.h.s. is only a function ofx, both must be equal to the same constant, E. Therefore,
ihχ(t) = Eχ(t)
(−h2
2m∇2 + V )ψ(x) = Eψ(x)
• The first equation can be integrated to give χ(t) = χ0 exp(−iEt/h)20

Superposition states & time-dependent observables
• First, use the particular solution Ψ(x, t) = ψE(x)exp(−iEt/h) tocalculate time-dependent expectation values, e.g.,
〈x〉t =
∫dxΨ∗(x, t)xΨ(x, t) =
∫dxψ∗E(x)eiEt/h xψE(x)e−iEt/h
=
∫dxψ∗E(x)xψE(x) no time-dependence!
• Next, try a linear combination:
Ψ(x, t) = aψE(x)exp(−iEt/h) + b ψE′(x)exp(−iE′t/h)
〈x〉t = |a|2∫dx x |ψE(x)|2 + |b|2
∫dx x |ψE′(x)|2
+2Re(a∗b)
∫dx xψ∗E(x)ψE′(x)e−i(E
′−E)t/h
The time dependence is in the interference term!21

Wavepackets = most general TDSE solutions
• As we have seen, a coherent superposition of eigenstates (= wavepacket)is required in order to have time dependence in any observable
• The general solution of the TDSE thus reads as follows:
Ψ(x, t) =
∞∑n=1
anψn(x)exp(−i
hEnt
)(discrete spectrum)
– where (ψn(x), En) are obtained by solving the time-independent SE
– the an’s are obtained from the initial condition: an =∫dxψ∗n(x)Ψ(x, 0)
• For a continuous spectrum, we get analogously:
Ψ(x, t) =
∫ ∞0
dE a(E)ψE(x) exp(−i
hEt)
(continuous spectrum)22

What do we need to calculate?
(1) Franck-Condon excitation & beyond:
• Franck-Condon wavepackets• transition dipole moment, oscillator strength• absorption spectra, nonlinear optical spectroscopy . . .
(2) PES’s from electronic structure calculations:
• calculate Potential Energy Surfaces (PES)• calculate non-adiabatic couplings• possibly “diabatize” (= transform to a diabatic representation)
(3) Dynamics (once the PES’s are known):
• wavepacket simulations on non-adiabatically coupled PES’s• or simplified descriptions of the dynamics: classical trajectories, Gaussian
