Abstract
Nonadiabatic molecular dynamics is an effective method for modeling nonradiative decay in electronically excited molecules. Its accuracy depends strongly on the quality of the potential energy surfaces, and its affordability for long direct-dynamic simulations with adequate ensemble averaging depends strongly on the cost of the required electronic structure calculations. Linearized pair-density functional theory (L-PDFT) is a recently developed post-self-consistent-field multireference method that can model potential energy surfaces with an accuracy similar to expensive multireference perturbation theories but at a computational cost similar to the underlying multiconfiguration self-consistent field method. Here, we integrate the SHARC dynamics and PySCF electronic structure code to utilize L-PDFT for electronically nonadiabatic calculations and use the combined programs to study the photoisomerization reaction of cis-azomethane. We show that L-PDFT is able to successfully simulate the photoisomerization without crashes, and it yields results similar to the more expensive extended multistate complete active space second-order perturbation theory. This shows that L-PDFT can model internal conversion, and it demonstrates its promise for broader photodynamics applications.

Abstract
An on-the-fly surface-hopping simulation protocol is developed for the evaluation of transient absorption (TA) pump-probe (PP) signals of molecular systems exhibiting internal conversion to the electronic ground state. We study the nonadiabatic dynamics of azomethane and the associating TA PP spectra at three levels of the electronic-structure theory, OM2/MRCI, SA-CASSCF, and XMS-CASPT2. The impact of these methods on the population dynamics and time-resolved TA PP signals is substantially different. This difference is attributed to the strong non-Condon effects that must be taken into account for the proper understanding and interpretation of time-resolved TA PP signals of nonadiabatic polyatomic systems. This shows that the combination of the dynamical and spectral simulations definitely provides more accurate and detailed information on the microscopic mechanisms of photophysical and photochemical processes. Hence the simulation of time-resolved spectroscopic signals provides another important dimension to examine the accuracy of quantum chemistry methods.

Abstract
Third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of polymethine dyes have been widely studied for applications such as all-optical switching. However, the limited accuracy of the current computational methodologies has prevented a comprehensive understanding of the nature of the lowest excited states and their influence on the molecular optical and NLO properties. Here, attention is paid to the lowest excited-state energies and their energetic ratio, as these characteristics impact the figure-of-merit for all-optical switching. For a series of model polymethines, we compare several algebraic diagrammatic construction (ADC) schemes for the polarization propagator with approximate second-order coupled cluster (CC2) theory, the widely used INDO/MRDCI approach and the symmetry-adapted cluster configuration interaction (SAC-CI) algorithm incorporating singles and doubles linked excitation operators (SAC-CI SD-R). We focus in particular on the ground-to-excited state transition dipole moments and the corresponding state dipole moments, since these quantities are found to be of utmost importance for an effective description of the third-order polarizability γ and two-photon absorption spectra. A sum-overstates expression has been used, which is found to quickly converge. While ADC(3/2) has been found to be the most appropriate method to calculate these properties, CC2 performs poorly.
