Abstract
Out of the many major breakthroughs that the hydrogen-exchange reaction has led to, electronic nonadiabatic effects that are mainly due to the geometric phase has intrigued many. In this work we investigate such effects in the state-to-state dynamics of the H + H2 (v = 3, 4, j = 0) → H2 (v', j') + H reaction with a vibrationally excited reagent at energies corresponding to thermal conditions. The dynamical calculations are performed by a time-dependent quantum mechanical method both on the lower adiabatic potential energy surface (PES) and also using a two-states coupled diabatic theoretical model to explicitly include all the nonadiabatic couplings present in the 1E' ground electronic manifold of the H3 system. The nonadiabatic couplings are considered here up to the quadratic term; however, the effect of the latter on the reaction dynamics is found to be very small. Adiabatic population analysis showed a minimal participation of the upper adiabatic surface even for the vibrationally excited reagent. A strong nonadiabatic effect appears in the state-to-state reaction probabilities and differential cross sections (DCSs). This effect is manifested as "out-of-phase" oscillations in the DCSs between the results of the uncoupled and coupled surface situations. The oscillations persist as a function of both scattering angle and collision energy in both the backward and forward scattering regions. The origins of these oscillations are examined in detail. The oscillations that appear in the forward direction are found to be different from those due to glory scattering, where the latter showed a negligibly small nonadiabatic effect. The nonadiabatic effects are reduced to a large extent when summed over all product quantum states, in addition to the cancellation due to integration over the scattering angle and partial wave summation.

Abstract
The depletion process of LiH+ by H collision plays an important role in the evolution of the early universe and astrophysical processes, including the eventual charge-states, abundances of atomic and molecular species and ensuing astrochemistry. Here, a quantum dynamics study on the H + LiH+(v = 0, j = 0) → Li+ + H2 reaction is performed at the low collision energy range from 0.1 meV to 10 meV using the time-dependent wave packet method. A Feshbach resonance peak is observed near 0.8 meV collision energy on the total reaction probability curves. This resonance originates from the coupling with the v = 0, j = 1 energy level of the reactant LiH+, and it is dominated by the contributions of J = 0-4 partial waves. Another partial wave resonance is also found on the total integral cross section at 1.2 meV, which is closely connected to the opening of the J = 7 partial wave. The opening of the J = 7 partial wave generates a notable forward scattering peak, and the Feshbach resonance can promote both the forward and backward scatterings. Moreover, the total and product vibrational state-resolved rate coefficients for the temperature range of 1-100 K are also reported.

Abstract
Feshbach resonances in D + HD(v = 1, j = 0) reaction are studied by using the time-independent quantum method. The integral cross section (ICS) results present three Feshbach resonance peaks, which are different from H + HD(v = 1, j = 0) reaction dominated by only one peak. These resonances are attributed to coupling with adiabatic effective potentials of D + HD(v = 1, j = 1) reaction, and the most obvious peak is contributed by J = 1 at 83.16 cm-1 collision energy. For J = 0 and 2, the resonances are related with the same L partial wave and present a double-peak structure in total ICS. The characteristics of product angular distribution show that the resonance of J = 1 is long-lived, while the lifetimes are relatively shorter for the resonance of J = 0 and 2.

Abstract
The Born-Oppenheimer potential energy surface (PES) has come a long way since its introduction in the 1920s, both conceptually and in predictive power for practical applications. Nevertheless, nearly 100 years later-despite astonishing advances in computational power-the state-of-the-art first-principles prediction of observables related to spectroscopy and scattering dynamics is surprisingly limited. For example, the water dimer, (H2O)2, with only six nuclei and 20 electrons, still presents a formidable challenge for full-dimensional variational calculations of bound states and is considered out of reach for rigorous scattering calculations. The extremely poor scaling of the most rigorous quantum methods is fundamental; however, recent progress in development of approximate methodologies has opened the door to fairly routine high-quality predictions, unthinkable 20 years ago. In this review, in relation to the workflow of spectroscopy and/or scattering studies, we summarize progress and challenges in the component areas of electronic structure calculations, PES fitting, and quantum dynamical calculations.

Abstract
Scattering resonances are pure quantum effects that appear whenever the collision energy matches the energy of a quasi-bound state of the intermolecular complex. Here we show that rotational quenching of HF(j = 1, 2) with H is strongly influenced by the presence of two resonance peaks, leading to up to a two-fold increase in the thermal rate coefficients at the low temperatures characteristic of the interstellar medium. Our results show that each resonance peak is formed by a cluster of shape resonances, each of them characterized by the same value of the orbital angular momentum but different values of the total angular momentum. The relative intensity of these resonances depends on the relative geometry of the incoming reactants, and our results predict that by changing the alignment of the HF rotational angular momentum it is possible to decompose the resonance peaks, disentangling the underlying resonance pattern and the contribution of different total angular momenta to the resonance.

Abstract
State-to-state dynamics of the benchmark hydrogen exchange reaction H + H2 (v = 0-4, j = 0-3) → H2 (v', j') + H is investigated with the aid of the real wave packet approach of Gray and Balint-Kurti (J. Chem. Phys. 1998, 108, 950-962) and electronic ground BKMP2 potential energy surface of Boothroyd et al. (J. Chem. Phys. 1996, 104, 7139-7152). Initial state-selected and product state-resolved reaction probabilities, integral cross section, and product diatom vibrational and rotational level populations at a few collision energies are reported to elucidate the energy disposal mechanism. State-specific thermal rate constants are also calculated and compared with the available literature results. Coriolis coupling terms of the nuclear Hamiltonian are included, and calculations are parallelized over the helicity quantum number, Ω'. Attempts are made, in particular, to study the effect of reagent vibrational and rotational excitations on the dynamical attributes. It is found that the calculations become computationally expensive with reagent vibrational and rotational excitation. Reagent vibrational excitation is found to enhance the reactivity and has significant impact on the energy disposal to the vibrational and rotational degrees of freedom of the product. The interplay of reagent translational and vibrational energy on the product vibrational distribution unfolds an important aspect of the energy disposal mechanism. The effect of reagent rotation on the state-to-state dynamics is found not to be very significant, and the weak effect turns out to be specific to v'.
