Abstract

The applicability of the multiconfiguration time-dependent self-consistent field approximation (MCTDSCF) for the dynamics of curve crossing processes under the influence of "external" degrees of freedom is tested on a simple model. The fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm for solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation is used to solve the exact equations of motion and the corresponding approximate ones. Good agreement is obtained in adiabatic as well as in non-adiabatic situations.
