We present a simple quasi-diabatization scheme applicable to spectroscopic studies that can be applied using any wavefunction for which one-electron properties and transition properties can be calculated. The method is based on rotation of a pair (or set) of adiabatic states to minimize the difference between the given transition property at a reference geometry of high symmetry (where the quasi-diabatic states and adiabatic states coincide) and points of lower symmetry where quasi-diabatic quantities are desired. Compared to other quasi-diabatization techniques, the method requires no special coding, facilitates direct comparison between quasi-diabatic quantities calculated using different types of wavefunctions, and is free of any selection of configurations in the definition of the quasi-diabatic states. On the other hand, the method appears to be sensitive to multi-state issues, unlike recent methods we have developed that use a configurational definition of quasi-diabatic states. Results are presented and compared with two other recently developed quasi-diabatization techniques.

Triplet-triplet energy transfer (TEnT) is of particular interest in various photochemical, photobiological, and energy science processes. It involves the exchange of spin and energy of electrons between two molecular fragments. Here, quasi-diabatic self-consistent field solutions were used to obtain the diabatic states involved in TEnT.

Article Synopsis
- The authors introduce a novel method to assess strong light-matter interaction in microcavities with large molecular aggregates, utilizing a combination of advanced computational techniques.
- They build on the Tavis-Cummings Hamiltonian and an excitonic Hamiltonian using locally excited and charge-transfer states to include photonic states and intermolecular couplings.
- The methodology is used to examine the effects of electric field polarization on polaritonic spectra and explore how the size of the molecular system affects energy level splitting and polariton dispersion.

Due to the cuspidal ridges of adiabatic potential energy surfaces (PESs) and singularities of nonadiabatic couplings (NACs), obtaining an analytical expression for the adiabatic Hamiltonian is difficult. Thereby, nonadiabatic dynamics simulations are often carried out on-the-fly, which is time-consuming. This motivates us to construct quasi-diabatic representations, which have smooth PESs and diabatic couplings.

We introduce a novel methodology for simulating the excited-state dynamics of extensive molecular aggregates in the framework of the long-range corrected time-dependent density-functional tight-binding fragment molecular orbital method (FMO-LC-TDDFTB) combined with the mean-field Ehrenfest method. The electronic structure of the system is described in a quasi-diabatic basis composed of locally excited and charge-transfer states of all fragments. In order to carry out nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations, we derive and implement the excited-state gradients of the locally excited and charge-transfer states.
