Craig C. Martens of the University of California-Irvine is supported by an award from the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry program for research to develop theoretical and computational methodology for the investigation of coherent quantum mechanical processes in many-body systems. The research is taking a mixed classical-quantum approach to generalizing classical molecular dynamics for systems with multiple quantum states and is based on a semiclassical approximation to the multistate quantum mechanical Liouville equation in the Wigner representation. Martens is applying these methods to several applications including the study of electronic excitations using shaped ultrafast pulses, an investigation of the semiclassical dynamics of quantum coherence from a dynamical systems perspective, and a study of the creation of possible quantum coherences from classical system bath modes. The work is having a broader impact through the training of students in modern theoretical and computational methods.

克雷格C.加州大学欧文分校的Martens获得了理论和计算化学项目的一项奖励，用于研究开发用于多体系统中相干量子力学过程研究的理论和计算方法。 该研究采用混合经典量子方法来推广具有多量子态的系统的经典分子动力学，并基于维格纳表示中的多状态量子力学刘维尔方程的半经典近似。 马滕斯正在将这些方法应用于几个应用，包括使用成形超快脉冲研究电子激发，从动力学系统的角度研究量子相干的半经典动力学，以及研究从经典系统浴模式创建可能的量子相干。 通过对学生进行现代理论和计算方法的培训，这项工作产生了更广泛的影响。
