Abstract: | In previous articles B. Poirier J. Chem. Phys. 121, 4501 (2004); C. Trahan and B. Poirier, ibid. 124, 034115 (2006); 124, 034116 (2006); B. Poirier and G. Parlant, J. Phys. Chem. A 111, 10400 (2007)] a bipolar counterpropagating wave decomposition, psi = psi(+) + psi(-), was presented for stationary states psi of the one-dimensional Schrodinger equation, such that the components psi(+/-) approach their semiclassical Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin analogs in the large action limit. The corresponding bipolar quantum trajectories are classical-like and well behaved, even when psi has many nodes, or is wildly oscillatory. In this paper, the method is generalized for time-dependent wavepacket dynamics applications and applied to several benchmark problems, including multisurface systems with nonadiabatic coupling. |
