We present a new method for treating the dynamics of molecular systems. The method has been named "quantum dressed" classical mechanics and is based on an expansion of the wave function in a time-dependent basis-set, the Gauss–Hermite basis-set. From here it is possible to proceed in two ways, one is in principle exact and the other approximate. In the exact approach one constructs a discrete variable representation (DVR) in which the grid points are defined by the Hermite part of the Gauss–Hermite basis set. In the approximate method a second order expansion of the potential around the classical trajectories is introduced and the quantum dymamics solved in a second quantization rather than a wave-function representation.

Time-Dependent Discrete Variable Representation (TDDVR) method was implemented by involving "classical" trajectories on each degrees of freedom (DOF) for the dynamics of multi-surface multi-mode Hamiltonian. The major focus of this article is to explore the efficiency of the serial and parallelized TDDVR algorithm for relatively large dimensional quantum dynamics in presence of non-adiabaticity among the electronic states. As a model system, the complex photoelectron spectra and non-radiative decay dynamics of trifluoroacetonitrile radical cation ( CF3CN+ ) are theoretically simulated with the aid of such parallelized algorithm, where the five lowest electronic states (X2E, A2A1, B2A2, C2A1, and D2E) of the Hamiltonian are interconnected through several conical intersections in the vicinity of Frank–Condon region with twelve (12) active vibrational modes. The Jahn–Teller splitting of the X2E and D2E states makes the coupled five-surface system to a more challenging quantum dynamical seven-surface twelve-mode model. The results obtained from the TDDVR approach show very good agreement with the profiles of both Multi Configuration Time-Dependent Hartree (MCTDH) methodology and experimental technique, where its' sequencial and parallelized algorithm depict closely linear scalability with the increasing number of basis set vis-a-vis DOFs.

We have calculated the energies of excited states for the He, Li, and Be atoms by the time dependent self-consistent Kohn Sham equation using the Coulomb Wave Function Discrete Variable Representation CWDVR) approach. The CWDVR approach was used the uniform and optimal spatial grid discretization to the solution of the Kohn-Sham equation for the excited states of atoms. Our results suggest that the CWDVR approach is an efficient and precise solutions of excited-state energies of atoms. We have shown that the calculated electronic energies of excited states for the He, Li, and Be atoms agree with the other researcher values.
