Abstract:

The inclusion of nuclear quantum effects in the simulation of 
multidimensional vibrational spectroscopy of condensed-phase systems is 
challenging since full quantum-mechanical calculations are still 
impractical for systems comprising many degrees of freedom. Here, we 
introduce an approach based on imaginary-time path-integral-based 
techniques, such as ring- polymer molecular dynamics and centroid 
molecular dynamics, as a practical way of including nuclear quantum 
effects in multi-time correlation functions [1-3]. Benchmark 
calculations on 1D model potentials show that the methodology provide 
consistent improvement over classical simulations. Additional, we 
showcase the approach in the simulation of 2D Raman spectroscopy of 
Lennard-Jones liquids [4]. Our results show that the proposed approach 
enables simulations of multidimensional optical spectroscopy of 
condensed-phase systems accounting for nuclear quantum effects.
