Tracking an electronic wave packet in the vicinity of a conical intersection
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This work treats the impact of vibrational coherence on the quantum efficiency of a dissipative electronic wave packet in the vicinity of a conical intersection by monitoring the time-dependent wave packet projection onto the tuning and the coupling mode. The vibrational coherence of the wave packet is tuned by varying the strength of the dissipative vibrational coupling of the tuning and the coupling modes to their thermal baths. We observe that the most coherent wave packet yields a quantum efficiency of 93%, but with a large transfer time constant. The quantum yield is dramatically decreased to 50% for a strongly damped incoherent wave packet, but the associated transfer time of the strongly localized wave packet is short. In addition, we find for the strongly damped wave packet that the transfer occurs via tunneling of the wave packet between the potential energy surfaces before the seam of the conical intersection is reached and a direct passage takes over. Our results provide direct evidence that vibrational coherence of the electronic wave packet is a decisive factor which determines the dynamical behavior of a wave packet in the vicinity of the conical intersection.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
