Nonadiabatic quantum-classical mapping approaches have significantly gained in popularity over the past several decades because they have acceptable accuracy while remaining numerically tractable even for large system sizes. In the recent few years, several novel mapping approaches have been developed that display higher accuracy than the traditional Ehrenfest method, linearized semiclassical initial value representation (LSC-IVR), and Poisson bracket mapping equation (PBME) approaches. While various benchmarks have already demonstrated the advantages and limitations of those methods, unified theoretical justifications of their short-time accuracy are still demanded.

A quantum-electrodynamics approach is presented to describe the dynamics of electrons that exchange energy with both photon and phonon baths. Our ansatz is a dissipative quantum Liouville equation, cast in the Redfield form, with two driving terms associated with radiative and vibrational relaxation mechanisms, respectively. Remarkably, within the radiative contribution, there is a term that exactly replicates the expression derived from a semiclassical treatment where the power dissipated by the electronic density is treated as the emission from a classical dipole [Bustamante et al.

Radical pairs (electron-hole pairs, polaron pairs) are transient reaction intermediates that are found and exploited in all areas of science, from the hard realm of physics in the form of organic semiconductors, spintronics, quantum computing, and solar cells to the soft domain of chemistry and biology under the guise of chemical reactions in solution, biomimetic systems, and quantum biology. Quantitative analysis of radical pair phenomena has historically been successful by a few select groups. With this in mind, we present an intuitive open-source framework in the Python programming language that provides classical, semiclassical, and quantum simulation methodologies.

One of the most widely used and computationally efficient models that accounts for London dispersion interactions within density functional theory (DFT) is the D3 dispersion correction model. In this work, we demonstrate that this model can induce the appearance of unphysical minima on the potential energy surface (PES) when the coordination number of atoms changes. Optimizing to these artifactual structures can lead to significant errors in determining the interaction energy between two molecules and in estimating the thermodynamic properties of the system.

In the past few decades, two-dimensional materials gained huge deliberation due to their outstanding electronic and heat transport properties. These materials have effective applications in many areas such as photodetectors, battery electrodes, thermoelectrics, etc. In this work, we have calculated structural, electronic, optical, and thermoelectric (TE) properties of KCuX (X = S, Se, Te) monolayers (MLs) with the help of first-principles-based calculations and semi-classical Boltzmann transport equation.
