A wave packet dynamical approach to the direct calculation of the rate constant of a chemical reaction is presented. Based on the position‐flux correlation function of Miller, Schwartz, and Tromp [J. Chem. Phys. 79, 4889 (1983)] a reaction rate operator is introduced, which can be viewed as the thermal analog of the energy‐dependent reaction probability operator [J. Chem. Phys. 99, 3411 (1993)]. It is shown that this reaction rate operator has in general only a small number of eigenstates with nonvanishing eigenvalues. These eigenstates can be interpreted as the vibrational ground state and the vibrationally excited states of the activated complex. The eigenstates and eigenvalues can efficiently be computed via an iterative (Lanczos) diagonalization scheme. The number of wave packet propagations required equals approximately the number of relevant states of the activated complex, it is considerably smaller as in previous approaches to the calculation of rate constants based on wave packet dynamics. The ne...
