Note that the number of gaussian functions (Ni) depends on time.

Multiple spawning dynamics
The non-adiabatic coupling within Hij is computed and monitored along the trajectory.
When it become larger than some pre-define threshold, new gaussian functions are created (spawned).

Within this approximation, the nuclear wavefunction is local: it does not depend on the wavefunction values at other positions of the
space
This opens two possibilities:1) On-the-fly approaches (global PESs are no more needed)
2) Classical independent trajectories approximations
However, because of the non-adiabatic coupling between different electronic states, the problem cannot be reduced to the Newton’s
equations
We use, therefore, Mixed Quantum-Classical Dynamics approaches (MQCD)

In this case, Ehrenfest dynamics would predict the dissociation on a
surface that is ~half/half S0 and
S1, which does not correspond to the
truth.

The problem with the Ehrenfest dynamics is the lack of decoherence.
The non-diagonal terms should quickly go to zero because of the coupling among the several degrees of freedom.
The approximation i(R(t)) ~ i(t) does not describe this behavior adequately.
Ad hoc corrections may be imposed.

Surface hopping dynamics
iNc ERF
Tully, J. Chem. Phys. 93, 1061 (1990)
Dynamics runs always on a single surface (diabatic or adiabatic).
Every time step a stochastic algorithm decides based on the non-adiabatic transition probabilities on which surface the molecule will stay.
The wavepacket information is recovered repeating the procedure for a large number of independent trajectories.
Because the dynamics runs on a single surface, the decoherence problem is largely reduced (but not eliminated).
