  1. Multilayer Formulation of the Multi-Configuration Time-Dependent Hartree Theory Haobin Wang Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry New Mexico State University Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA Collaborator: Michael Thoss Support: NSF

  2. Outline • Conventional brute-force approach to wave packet propagation • Multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree (MCTDH) method • Multilayer formulation of MCTDH (ML-MCTDH) • Quantum simulation of time correlation functions • Application to ultrafast electron transfer reactions

  3. Conventional Wave Packet Propagation • Dirac-Frenkel variational principle • Conventional Full CI Expansion (orthonormal basis) • Equations of Motion • Capability: <10 degrees of freedom (<~n10 configurations) even for separable limit

  4. Multi-Configuration Time-Dependent Hartree • Multi-configuration expansion of the wave function • Variations • Both expansion coefficients and configurations are time-dependent Meyer, Manthe, Cederbaum, Chem. Phys. Lett. 165 (1990) 73

  5. MCTDH Equations of Motion • Some notations

  6. MCTDH Equations of Motion • Reduced density matrices and mean-field operators The “single hole” function

  7. Implementation of the MCTDH • Full CI expansion of the single particle functions (mode grouping and adiabatic basis contraction) • Only a few single particle functions are selected among the full CI space • Example: 5 single particle groups, each has 1000 basis functions • Conventional approach: 10005 = 1015configurations • MCTDH with10single particle functions per group: 10×1000×5 + 105 = 1.5×105parameters • Capability of the MCTDH theory: ~10×10 = 100 degrees of freedom

  8. Multi-Layer Formulation of the MCTDH Theory • Multi-configurational expansion of the SP functions • More complex way of expressing the wave function • Two-layer MCTDH Wang, Thoss, J. Chem. Phys. 119 (2003) 1289

  11. Exploring Dynamical Simplicity Using ML-MCTDH Conventional MCTDH ML-MCTDH • Capability of the two-layer ML-MCTDH: • ~10×10×10 = 1000 degrees of freedom • Capability of the three-layer ML-MCTDH: • ~10×10×10×10 = 10000 degrees of freedom

  12. The Scaling of the ML-MCTDH Theory • f: the number of degrees of freedom • L: the number of layers • N: the number of (contracted) basis functions • n: the number of single-particle functions
