DESCRIPTION:Prof. Jeremy Richardson\nETH Zürich\nThe classical dynamics o
 f molecular systems is relatively easy to simulate on a computer\, whereas
  quantum dynamics is practically impossible for all but the smallest and s
 implest systems. Nonetheless I will show how classical trajectories can be
  used to describe quantum tunnelling and non-Born-Oppenheimer dynamics tak
 ing account of the Berry phase. This enables us to study the quantum dynam
 ics of complex molecular systems with computer simulations. I will present
  recent results which explain the high-resolution spectrum of the methane 
 cation and reproduce accurate exciton dynamics in the Fenna-Matthews-Olson
  complex.
