We can prepare the matrix representation of the entire Hamiltonian, truncated
45 states from the adiabatic excited states, and the results would be numerical
Instead we execute a similar route to the adiabatic basis by reducing the problem from
Analytic expressions for adiabatic states and electronic component of nonadiabatic coupling
The nonadiabatic coupling term contains both an integral over the vibrational
eigenfunctions as well as an electronic component, E[ ;<=|∇|G[ ;<=. Here we provide the
60 analytic solution to this matrix element. The electronic eigenstates are in fact vectors
that are 2 × 1 in size, which is due to the size of the electronic Hilbert space. Therefore,
to compute the matrix element, we first differentiate one vector with respect to < and
then take its dot product with the other vector. The two states are

80 unknown set of basis functions. The approximate basis functions are built from a linear
combination of the known basis functions. The initial step then, is to select a set of
well-known basis functions (eigenfunctions) that will be similar in nature to the final
other sets of basis functions (such as the solutions to the harmonic oscillator,
Knowing the set of basis functions allows for the construction of a matrix-
representation of operators. Most forms of DVR use the position and kinetic-energy
matrix for an arbitrary basis will not be diagonal, and evaluating functions on non-
diagonal matrices is not well-defined. Therefore, one must first diagonalize the position
95 operator matrix and retain the transformation matrix used to do this. Once the diagonal
position matrix is found, the potential-energy function may be evaluated at each value
along the diagonal. These are called ‘DVR grid points’. Performing the inverse
transformation matrices used when diagonalizing the position matrix) brings the
100 evaluated points back into the original basis, but they are nonetheless changed to
reflect the desired potential function. This matrix is treated as the potential-energy
matrix of the Hamiltonian, while the kinetic-energy matrix was already calculated from
the basis functions. Because of this, one may construct the final Hamiltonian matrix by
each element of the eigenvector matrix describes how much ‘weight’ each original basis
energy curve given. The eigenvalues then can be used to propagate a wavepacket, or for
