This study introduces the FSSH-2 scheme, a redefined and numerically stable adiabatic Fewest Switches Surface Hopping (FSSH) method for mixed quantum-classical dynamics. It reformulates the standard FSSH hopping probability without using nonadiabatic coupling vectors and allows for numerical time integration with larger step sizes. The advantages of FSSH-2 are demonstrated by numerical experiments for five different model systems in one and two spatial dimensions with up to three electronic states.

Recent developments in quantum computing are highly promising, particularly in the realm of quantum chemistry. Due to the noisy nature of currently available quantum hardware, hybrid quantum-classical algorithms have emerged as a reliable option for near-term simulations. Mixed quantum-classical dynamics methods effectively capture nonadiabatic effects by integrating classical nuclear dynamics with quantum chemical computations of the electronic properties.

Nonadiabatic dynamics simulations complement time-resolved experiments by revealing ultrafast excited-state mechanistic information in photochemical reactions. Understanding the relaxation mechanisms of photoexcited molecules finds application in energy, material, and medicinal research. However, with substantial computational costs, the nonadiabatic dynamics simulations have been restricted to ultrafast timescales, typically less than a few picoseconds, thus neglecting a wide range of photoactivated processes occurring in much longer timescales.

The recent improvement in experimental capabilities for interrogating and controlling molecular systems with ultrafast coherent light sources calls for the development of theoretical approaches that can accurately and efficiently treat electronic coherence. However, the most popular and practical nonadiabatic molecular dynamics techniques, Tully's fewest-switches surface hopping and Ehrenfest mean-field dynamics, are unable to describe the dynamics proceeding from an initial electronic coherence. While such issues are not encountered with the analogous coupled-trajectory algorithms or numerically exact quantum dynamics methods, applying such techniques necessarily comes with a higher computational cost.

In this article, the nonadiabatic excited-state Molecular dynamics (NEXMD) package is linked with the SANDER package, provided by AMBERTOOLS. The combination of these software packages enables the simulation of photoinduced dynamics of large multichromophoric conjugated molecules involving several coupled electronic excited states embedded in an explicit solvent by using the quantum/mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) methodology. The fewest switches surface hopping algorithm, as implemented in NEXMD, is used to account for quantum transitions among the adiabatic excited-state simulations of the photoexcitation and subsequent nonadiabatic electronic transitions, and vibrational energy relaxation of a substituted polyphenylenevinylene oligomer (PPV3-NO2) in vacuum and methanol as an explicit solvent has been used as a test case.
