Abstract
Recent progress on the constraint coordinate-momentum phase space (CPS) formulation of finite-state quantum systems has revealed that the triangle window function approach is an isomorphic representation of the exact population-population correlation function of the two-state system. We use the triangle window (TW) function and the CPS mapping kernel element to formulate a novel useful representation of discrete electronic degrees of freedom (DOFs). When it is employed with nonadiabatic field (NaF) dynamics, a new variant of the NaF approach (i.e., NaF-TW) is proposed. The NaF-TW expression of the population of any adiabatic state is always positive semidefinite. Extensive benchmark tests of model systems in both the condensed phase and gas phase demonstrate that the NaF-TW approach is able to faithfully capture the dynamical interplay between electronic and nuclear DOFs in a broad region, including where the states remain coupled all the time, as well as where the bifurcation characteristic of nuclear motion is important.

Abstract
Nonadiabatic transition dynamics lies at the core of many electron/hole transfer, photoactivated, and vacuum field-coupled processes. About a century after Ehrenfest proposed "Phasenraum" and the Ehrenfest theorem, we report a conceptually novel trajectory-based nonadiabatic dynamics approach, nonadiabatic field (NAF), based on a generalized exact coordinate-momentum phase space formulation of quantum mechanics. It does not employ the conventional Born-Oppenheimer or Ehrenfest trajectory in the nonadiabatic coupling region. Instead, in NAF the equations of motion of the independent trajectory involve a nonadiabatic nuclear force term in addition to an adiabatic nuclear force term of a single electronic state. A few benchmark tests for gas phase and condensed phase systems indicate that NAF offers a practical tool to capture the correct correlation of electronic and nuclear dynamics for processes where the states remain coupled all the time as well as for the asymptotic region where the coupling of electronic states vanishes.

Abstract
We present a nonadiabatic classical-trajectory approach that offers the best of both worlds between fewest-switches surface hopping (FSSH) and quasiclassical mapping dynamics. This mapping approach to surface hopping (MASH) propagates the nuclei on the active adiabatic potential-energy surface, such as in FSSH. However, unlike in FSSH, transitions between active surfaces are deterministic and occur when the electronic mapping variables evolve between specified regions of the electronic phase space. This guarantees internal consistency between the active surface and the electronic degrees of freedom throughout the dynamics. MASH is rigorously derivable from exact quantum mechanics as a limit of the quantum-classical Liouville equation (QCLE), leading to a unique prescription for momentum rescaling and frustrated hops. Hence, a quantum-jump procedure can, in principle, be used to systematically converge the accuracy of the results to that of the QCLE. This jump procedure also provides a rigorous framework for deriving approximate decoherence corrections similar to those proposed for FSSH. We apply MASH to simulate the nonadiabatic dynamics in various model systems and show that it consistently produces more accurate results than FSSH at a comparable computational cost.

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 present a partially linearized method based on spin-mapping for computing both linear and nonlinear optical spectra. As observables are obtained from ensembles of classical trajectories, the approach can be applied to the large condensed-phase systems that undergo photosynthetic light-harvesting processes. In particular, the recently derived spin partially linearized density matrix method has been shown to exhibit superior accuracy in computing population dynamics compared to other related classical-trajectory methods. Such a method should also be ideally suited to describing the quantum coherences generated by interaction with light. We demonstrate that this is, indeed, the case by calculating the nonlinear optical response functions relevant for the pump-probe and 2D photon-echo spectra for a Frenkel biexciton model and the Fenna-Matthews-Olsen light-harvesting complex. One especially desirable feature of our approach is that the full spectrum can be decomposed into its constituent components associated with the various Liouville-space pathways, offering a greater insight beyond what can be directly obtained from experiments.

Abstract
We consider the application of the original Meyer-Miller (MM) Hamiltonian to mapping fermionic quantum dynamics to classical equations of motion. Non-interacting fermionic and bosonic systems share the same one-body density dynamics when evolving from the same initial many-body state. The MM classical mapping is exact for non-interacting bosons, and therefore, it yields the exact time-dependent one-body density for non-interacting fermions as well. Starting from this observation, the MM mapping is compared to different mappings specific for fermionic systems, namely, the spin mapping with and without including a Jordan-Wigner transformation and the Li-Miller mapping (LMM). For non-interacting systems, the inclusion of fermionic anti-symmetry through the Jordan-Wigner transform does not lead to any improvement in the performance of the mappings, and instead, it worsens the classical description. For an interacting impurity model and for models of excitonic energy transfer, the MM and LMM mappings perform similarly, and in some cases, the former outperforms the latter when compared to a full quantum description. The classical mappings are able to capture interference effects, both constructive and destructive, that originate from equivalent energy transfer pathways in the models.
