Can we derive Tully's surface-hopping algorithm from the semiclassical quantum Liouville equation? Almost, but only with decoherence

JE Subotnik, W Ouyang, BR Landry - The Journal of chemical physics, 2013 - pubs.aip.org
In this article, we demonstrate that Tully's fewest-switches surface hopping (FSSH) algorithm
approximately obeys the mixed quantum-classical Liouville equation (QCLE), provided that …

A simple solution to the trivial crossing problem in surface hopping
