Abstract
The Wigner phase space formulation of quantum mechanics is a complete framework for quantum dynamic calculations that elegantly highlights connections with classical dynamics. In this series of two articles, building upon previous efforts, we derive the full hierarchy of approximate semiclassical (SC) dynamic methods for adiabatic and non-adiabatic problems in Wigner phase space. In Paper I, focusing on adiabatic single surface processes, we derive the well-known double Herman-Kluk (DHK) approximation for real-time correlation functions in Wigner phase space and connect it to the linearized SC (LSC) approximation through a stationary phase approximation. We exploit this relationship to introduce a new hybrid SC method, termed Adiabatic Hybrid Wigner Dynamics (AHWD) that allows for a few important "system" degrees of freedom (dofs) to be treated at the DHK level, while treating the rest of the dofs (the "bath") at the LSC level. AHWD is shown to accurately capture quantum interference effects in models of coupled oscillators and the decoherence of vibrational probability density of a model I2 Morse oscillator coupled to an Ohmic thermal bath. We show that AHWD significantly mitigates the sign problem and employs reduced dimensional prefactors bringing calculations of complex system-bath problems within the reach of SC methods. Paper II focuses on extending this hybrid SC dynamics to nonadiabatic processes.

Abstract
GPU-accelerated on-the-fly nonadiabatic dynamics is enabled by interfacing the linearized semiclassical dynamics approach with the TeraChem electronic structure program. We describe the computational workflow of the "PySCES" code interface, a Python code for semiclassical dynamics with on-the-fly electronic structure, including parallelization over multiple GPU nodes. We showcase the abilities of this code and present timings for two benchmark systems: fulvene solvated in acetonitrile and a charge transfer system in which a photoexcited zinc-phthalocyanine donor transfers charge to a fullerene acceptor through multiple electronic states on an ultrafast timescale. Our implementation paves the way for an efficient semiclassical approach to model the nonadiabatic excited state dynamics of complex molecules, materials, and condensed phase systems.

Abstract
Recent theoretical and algorithmic developments have improved the accuracy with which path integral dynamics methods can include nuclear quantum effects in simulations of condensed-phase vibrational spectra. Such methods are now understood to be approximations to the delocalized classical Matsubara dynamics of smooth Feynman paths, which dominate the dynamics of systems such as liquid water at room temperature. Focusing mainly on simulations of liquid water and hexagonal ice, we explain how the recently developed quasicentroid molecular dynamics (QCMD), fast-QCMD, and temperature-elevated path integral coarse-graining simulations (Te PIGS) methods generate classical dynamics on potentials of mean force obtained by averaging over quantum thermal fluctuations. These new methods give very close agreement with one another, and the Te PIGS method has recently yielded excellent agreement with experimentally measured vibrational spectra for liquid water, ice, and the liquid-air interface. We also discuss the limitations of such methods.

Abstract
Simulating the quantum dynamics of molecules in the condensed phase represents a longstanding challenge in chemistry. Trapped-ion quantum systems may serve as a platform for the analog-quantum simulation of chemical dynamics that is beyond the reach of current classical-digital simulation. To identify a 'quantum advantage' for these simulations, performance analysis of both analog-quantum simulation on noisy hardware and classical-digital algorithms is needed. In this Review, we make a comparison between a noisy analog trapped-ion simulator and a few choice classical-digital methods on simulating the dynamics of a model molecular Hamiltonian with linear vibronic coupling. We describe several simple Hamiltonians that are commonly used to model molecular systems, which can be simulated with existing or emerging trapped-ion hardware. These Hamiltonians may serve as stepping stones towards the use of trapped-ion simulators for systems beyond the reach of classical-digital methods. Finally, we identify dynamical regimes in which classical-digital simulations seem to have the weakest performance with respect to analog-quantum simulations. These regimes may provide the lowest hanging fruit to make the most of potential quantum advantages.

Abstract
We simulate the nonadiabatic dynamics of photo-induced isomerization and dissociation in ethylene using ab initio classical trajectories in an extended phase space of nuclear and electronic variables. This is achieved by employing the linearized semiclassical initial value representation method for nonadiabatic dynamics, where discrete electronic states are mapped to continuous classical variables using either the Meyer-Miller-Stock-Thoss representation or a more recently introduced spin mapping approach. Trajectory initial conditions are sampled by constraining electronic state variables to a single initial excited state and by drawing nuclear phase space configurations from a Wigner distribution at a finite temperature. An ensemble of classical ab initio trajectories is then generated to compute thermal population correlation functions and analyze the mechanisms of isomerization and dissociation. Our results serve as a demonstration that this parameter-free semiclassical approach is computationally efficient and accurate, identifying mechanistic pathways in agreement with previous theoretical studies and also uncovering dissociation pathways observed experimentally.

Abstract
We introduce a semi-classical approximation for calculating generalized multi-time correlation functions based on Matsubara dynamics, a classical dynamics approach that conserves the quantum Boltzmann distribution. This method is exact for the zero time and harmonic limits and reduces to classical dynamics when only one Matsubara mode is considered (i.e., the centroid). Generalized multi-time correlation functions can be expressed as canonical phase-space integrals, involving classically evolved observables coupled through Poisson brackets in a smooth Matsubara space. Numerical tests on a simple potential show that the Matsubara approximation exhibits better agreement with exact results than classical dynamics, providing a bridge between the purely quantum and classical descriptions of multi-time correlation functions. Despite the phase problem that prevents practical applications of Matsubara dynamics, the reported work provides a benchmark theory for the future development of quantum-Boltzmann-preserving semi-classical approximations for studies of chemical dynamics in condensed phase systems.

Abstract
Mixed quantum classical (MQC)-initial value representation (IVR) is a recently introduced semiclassical framework that allows for selective quantization of the modes of a complex system. In the quantum limit, MQC reproduces the semiclassical Double Herman-Kluk IVR results, accurately capturing nuclear quantum coherences and conserving zero-point energy. However, in the classical limit, although MQC mimics the Husimi-IVR for real-time correlation functions with linear operators, it is significantly less accurate for non-linear correlation functions with errors even at time zero. Here, we identify the origin of this discrepancy in the MQC formulation and propose a modification. We analytically show that the modified MQC approach is exact for all correlation functions at time zero, and in a study of zero-point energy (ZPE) flow, we numerically demonstrate that it correctly obtains the quantum and classical limits as a function of time. Interestingly, although classical-limit MQC simulations show the expected, unphysical ZPE leakage, we find that it is possible to predict and even modify the direction of ZPE flow through selective quantization of the system, with the quantum-limit modes accepting energy but preserving the minimum quantum mechanically required energy.

Abstract
An exact representation of quantum mechanics using the language of phase-space variables provides a natural starting point to introduce and develop semiclassical approximations for the calculation of time correlation functions. Here, we introduce an exact path-integral formalism for calculations of multi-time quantum correlation functions as canonical averages over ring-polymer dynamics in imaginary time. The formulation provides a general formalism that exploits the symmetry of path integrals with respect to permutations in imaginary time, expressing correlations as products of imaginary-time-translation-invariant phase-space functions coupled through Poisson bracket operators. The method naturally recovers the classical limit of multi-time correlation functions and provides an interpretation of quantum dynamics in terms of "interfering trajectories" of the ring-polymer in phase space. The introduced phase-space formulation provides a rigorous framework for the future development of quantum dynamics methods that exploit the invariance of imaginary time path integrals to cyclic permutations.

Abstract
We derive the non-adiabatic ring polymer molecular dynamics (RPMD) approach in the phase space of the SU(N) Lie Group. This method, which we refer to as the spin mapping non-adiabatic RPMD (SM-NRPMD), is based on the spin-mapping formalism for the electronic degrees of freedom (DOFs) and ring polymer path-integral description for the nuclear DOFs. Using the Stratonovich-Weyl transform for the electronic DOFs and the Wigner transform for the nuclear DOFs, we derived an exact expression of the Kubo-transformed time-correlation function (TCF). We further derive the spin mapping non-adiabatic Matsubara dynamics using the Matsubara approximation that removes the high frequency nuclear normal modes in the TCF and derive the SM-NRPMD approach from the non-adiabatic Matsubara dynamics by discarding the imaginary part of the Liouvillian. The SM-NRPMD method has numerical advantages compared to the original NRPMD method based on the Meyer-Miller-Stock-Thoss (MMST) mapping formalism due to a more natural mapping using the SU(N) Lie Group that preserves the symmetry of the original system. We numerically compute the Kubo-transformed position auto-correlation function and electronic population correlation function for three-state model systems. The numerical results demonstrate the accuracy of the SM-NRPMD method, which outperforms the original MMST-based NRPMD. We envision that the SM-NRPMD method will be a powerful approach to simulate electronic non-adiabatic dynamics and nuclear quantum effects accurately.

Abstract
An approximate approach to quantum vibrational dynamics, "Brownian chain molecular dynamics (BCMD)," is proposed to alleviate the chain resonance and curvature problems in the imaginary time-based path integral (PI) simulation. Here the non-centroid velocity is randomized at each step when solving the equation of motion of path integral molecular dynamics. This leads to a combination of the Newton equation and the overdamped Langevin equation for the centroid and non-centroid variables, respectively. BCMD shares the basic properties of other PI approaches such as centroid and ring polymer molecular dynamics: It gives the correct Kubo-transformed correlation function at short times, conserves the time symmetry, has the correct high-temperature/classical limits, gives exactly the position and velocity autocorrelations of harmonic oscillator systems, and does not have the zero-point leakage problem. Numerical tests were done on simple molecular models and liquid water. On-the-fly ab initio BCMD simulations were performed for the protonated water cluster, H 5 O 2 + $$ {\mathrm{H}}_5{\mathrm{O}}_2^{+} $$ , and its isotopologue, D 5 O 2 + $$ {\mathrm{D}}_5{\mathrm{O}}_2^{+} $$ .

Abstract
Semiclassical (SC) approximations for quantum dynamic simulations in complex chemical systems range from rigorously accurate methods that are computationally expensive to methods that exhibit near-classical scaling with system size but are limited in their ability to describe quantum effects. In practical studies of high-dimensional reactions, neither extreme is the best choice: frequently a high-level quantum mechanical description is only required for a handful of modes, while the majority of environment modes that do not play a key role in the reactive event of interest are well served with a lower level of theory. In this feature, we introduce modified Filinov filtration as a powerful tool to construct mixed quantum-classical SC theories where different subsystems can be quantized to different extents without introducing ad hoc intersubsystem interaction terms. We demonstrate that these Filinov-based SC methods can systematically tune between quantum and classical limit SC behavior, offering a practical way forward to accurate and computationally efficient simulations of high-dimensional quantum processes.

Abstract
We present the rigorous theoretical framework of the generalized spin mapping representation for non-adiabatic dynamics. Our work is based up a new mapping formalism recently introduced by Runeson and Richardson in [J. Chem. Phys. 152, 084110 (2020)], which uses the generators of the su(N) Lie algebra to represent N discrete electronic states, thus preserving the size of the original Hilbert space. Following this interesting idea, the Stratonovich-Weyl transform is used to map an operator in the Hilbert space to a continuous function on the SU(N) Lie group, i.e., a smooth manifold which is a phase space of continuous variables. We further use the Wigner representation to describe the nuclear degrees of freedom, and derived an exact expression of the time-correlation function as well as the exact quantum Liouvillian for the non-adiabatic system. Making the linearization approximation, this exact Liouvillian is reduced to the Liouvillian of several recently proposed methods, and the performance of this Linearized method is tested using non-adiabatic models. We envision that the theoretical work presented here provides a rigorous and unified framework to formally derive non-adiabatic quantum dynamics approaches with continuous variables and connect the previous methods in a clear and concise manner.

Abstract
We show that combining the linearized semiclasscial approximation with Fermi's golden rule (FGR) rate theory gives rise to a general-purpose cost-effective and scalable computational framework that can accurately capture the cavity-induced rate enhancement of charge transfer reactions that occurs when the molecular system is placed inside a microcavity. Both partial linearization with respect to the nuclear and photonic degrees of freedom and full linerization with respect to nuclear, photonic, and electronic degrees of freedom (the latter within the mapping Hamiltonian approach) are shown to be highly accurate, provided that the Wigner transforms of the product (WoP) of operators at the initial time is not replaced by the product of their Wigner transforms. We also show that the partial linearization method yields the quantum-mechanically exact cavity-modified FGR rate constant for a model system in which the donor and acceptor potential energy surfaces are harmonic and identical except for a shift in the equilibrium energy and geometry, if WoP is applied.

Abstract
Multidimensional optical spectra are measured from the response of a material system to a sequence of laser pulses and have the capacity to elucidate specific molecular interactions and dynamics whose influences are absent or obscured in a conventional linear absorption spectrum. Interpretation of complex spectra is supported by theoretical modeling of the spectroscopic observable, requiring implementation of quantum dynamics for coupled electrons and nuclei. Performing numerically correct quantum dynamics in this context may pose computational challenges, particularly in the condensed phase. Semiclassical methods based on calculating classical trajectories offer a practical alternative. Here I review the recent application of some semiclassical, trajectory-based methods to nonlinear molecular vibrational and electronic spectra. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Physical Chemistry, Volume 73 is April 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

Abstract
The performance of different approximate algorithms for computing anharmonic features in vibrational spectra is analyzed and compared on model and more realistic systems that present relevant nuclear quantum effects. The methods considered combine approximate sampling of the quantum thermal distribution with classical time propagation and include Matsubara dynamics, path integral dynamics approaches, linearized initial value representation, and the recently introduced adaptive quantum thermal bath. A perturbative analysis of these different methods enables us to account for the observed numerical performance on prototypes for overtones and combination bands and to draw qualitatively correct trends for the numerical results obtained for Fermi resonances. Our results prove that the unequal performances of these approaches often derive from the method employed to sample initial conditions and not, as usually assumed, from the lack of coherence in the time propagation. Furthermore, as confirmed by the analysis reported in Benson and Althorpe, J. Chem. Phys. 130, 194510 (2021), we demonstrate, both via the perturbative approach and numerically, that path integral dynamics methods fail to reproduce the intensities of these anharmonic features and follow purely classical trends with respect to their temperature behavior. Finally, the remarkably accurate performance of the adaptive quantum thermal bath approach is documented and motivated.

Abstract
We show that a novel, general phase space mapping Hamiltonian for nonadiabatic systems, which is reminiscent of the renowned Meyer-Miller mapping Hamiltonian, involves a commutator variable matrix rather than the conventional zero-point-energy parameter. In the exact mapping formulation on constraint space for phase space approaches for nonadiabatic dynamics, the general mapping Hamiltonian with commutator variables can be employed to generate approximate trajectory-based dynamics. Various benchmark model tests, which range from gas phase to condensed phase systems, suggest that the overall performance of the general mapping Hamiltonian is better than that of the conventional Meyer-Miller Hamiltonian.

Abstract
Derived from phase space expressions of the quantum Liouville theorem, equilibrium continuity dynamics is a category of trajectory-based phase space dynamics methods, which satisfies the two critical fundamental criteria: conservation of the quantum Boltzmann distribution for the thermal equilibrium system and being exact for any thermal correlation functions (even of nonlinear operators) in the classical and harmonic limits. The effective force and effective mass matrix are important elements in the equations of motion of equilibrium continuity dynamics, where only the zeroth term of an exact series expansion of the phase space propagator is involved. We introduce a machine learning approach for fitting these elements in quantum phase space, leading to a much more efficient integration of the equations of motion. Proof-of-concept applications to realistic molecules demonstrate that machine learning phase space dynamics approaches are possible as well as competent in producing reasonably accurate results with a modest computation effort.

Abstract
Recent experimental realizations of strong coupling between optical cavity modes and molecular matter placed inside the cavity have opened exciting new routes for controlling chemical processes. Simulating the cavity-modified dynamics of complex chemical systems calls for the development of accurate, flexible, and cost-effective approximate numerical methods that scale favorably with system size and complexity. In this Letter, we test the ability of quasiclassical mapping Hamiltonian methods to serve this purpose. We simulated the spontaneous emission dynamics of an atom confined to a microcavity via five different variations of the linearized semiclassical (LSC) method. Our main finding is that recently proposed LSC-based methods which use a modified form of the identity operator are reasonably accurate and perform significantly better than the Ehrenfest and standard LSC methods, without significantly increasing computational costs. These methods are therefore highly promising as a general purpose tool for simulating cavity-modified dynamics of complex chemical systems.

Abstract
The semiclassical double Herman-Kluk initial value representation is an accurate approach to computing quantum real time correlation functions, but its applications are limited by the need to evaluate an oscillatory integral. In previous work, we have shown that this "sign problem" can be mitigated using the modified Filinov filtration technique to control the extent to which individual modes of the system contribute to the overall phase of the integrand. Here, we follow this idea to a logical conclusion: we analytically derive a general expression for the mixed quantum-classical limit of the semiclassical correlation function-analytical mixed quantum-classical-initial value representation (AMQC-IVR), where the phase contributions from the "classical" modes of the system are filtered while the "quantum" modes are treated in the full semiclassical limit. We numerically demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the AMQC-IVR formulation in calculations of quantum correlation functions and reaction rates using three model systems with varied coupling strengths between the classical and quantum subsystems. We also introduce a separable prefactor approximation that further reduces computational cost but is only accurate in the limit of weak coupling between the quantum and classical subsystems.

Abstract
Matsubara dynamics has recently emerged as the most general form of a quantum-Boltzmann-conserving classical dynamics theory for the calculation of single-time correlation functions. Here, we present a generalization of Matsubara dynamics for the evaluation of multitime correlation functions. We first show that the Matsubara approximation can also be used to approximate the two-time symmetrized double Kubo transformed correlation function. By a straightforward extension of these ideas to the multitime realm, a multitime Matsubara dynamics approximation can be obtained for the multitime fully symmetrized Kubo transformed correlation function. Although not a practical method, due to the presence of a phase-term, this multitime formulation of Matsubara dynamics represents a benchmark theory for future development of Boltzmann preserving semiclassical approximations to general higher order multitime correlation functions. It also reveals a connection between imaginary time-ordering in the path integral and the classical dynamics of multitime correlation functions.

Abstract
A derivation of quantum statistical mechanics based on the concept of a Feynman path centroid is presented for the case of generalized density operators using the projected density operator formalism of Blinov and Roy [J. Chem. Phys. 115, 7822-7831 (2001)]. The resulting centroid densities, centroid symbols, and centroid correlation functions are formulated and analyzed in the context of the canonical equilibrium picture of Jang and Voth [J. Chem. Phys. 111, 2357-2370 (1999)]. The case where the density operator projects onto a particular energy eigenstate of the system is discussed, and it is shown that one can extract microcanonical dynamical information from double Kubo transformed correlation functions. It is also shown that the proposed projection operator approach can be used to formally connect the centroid and Wigner phase-space distributions in the zero reciprocal temperature β limit. A Centroid Molecular Dynamics (CMD) approximation to the state-projected exact quantum dynamics is proposed and proven to be exact in the harmonic limit. The state projected CMD method is also tested numerically for a quartic oscillator and a double-well potential and found to be more accurate than canonical CMD. In the case of a ground state projection, this method can resolve tunnelling splittings of the double well problem in the higher barrier regime where canonical CMD fails. Finally, the state-projected CMD framework is cast in a path integral form.

Abstract
In this work, a general protocol for evaluating the quality of approximate Kubo correlation functions of nontrivial systems in many dimensions is discussed. We first note that the generalized deconvolution of the Kubo transformed correlation function onto a time correlation function at a given value τ in imaginary time, such that 0 < τ < βℏ, leads to a series of sum rules applicable to the nth derivative of the Kubo function and whose iterative extension allows us to link derivatives of different order in the corresponding correlation functions. We focus on the case when τ = βℏ/2, for which all deconvolution kernels become real valued functions and their asymptotic behavior at long times exhibits a polynomial divergence. It is then shown that thermally symmetrized static averages, and the averages of the corresponding time derivatives, are ideally suited to investigate the quality of approximate Kubo correlation functions at successively larger (and up to arbitrarily long) times. This overall strategy is illustrated analytically for a harmonic system and numerically for a multidimensional double-well potential and a Lennard-Jones fluid. The analysis includes an assessment of RPMD position autocorrelation results as a function of the number of dimensions in a double-well potential and of the RPMD velocity autocorrelation function of liquid neon at 30 K.

Abstract
The development of methods that can efficiently and accurately treat nonadiabatic dynamics in quantum systems coupled to arbitrary atomistic environments remains a significant challenge in problems ranging from exciton transport in photovoltaic materials to electron and proton transfer in catalysis. Here we show that our recently introduced MF-GQME approach, which combines Ehrenfest mean field theory with the generalized quantum master equation framework, is able to yield quantitative accuracy over a wide range of charge-transfer regimes in fully atomistic environments. This is accompanied by computational speed-ups of up to 3 orders of magnitude over a direct application of Ehrenfest theory. This development offers the opportunity to efficiently investigate the atomistic details of nonadiabatic quantum relaxation processes in regimes where obtaining accurate results has previously been elusive.
