An extension of the grid empowered molecular simulator to quantum reactive scattering

Within the activities of the D37 COST Action, we have further developed the quantum dynamics framework of the grid empowered molecular simulator (GEMS) implemented on the segment of the European grid available to the COMPCHEM (computational chemistry) virtual organization. GEMS does now include in a full ab initio approach, the evaluation of the detailed quantum (both time dependent and time independent) dynamics of small systems starting from the calculation of the electronic structure properties as well as the direct calculation of thermalized properties. Illustrative, full dimensional applications of the extended simulator to the H + H(2) , N + N(2) , and O + O(2) systems are presented.
