We develop and implement an exact conical intersection nonadiabatic wave packet dynamics method that combines the local diabatic representation, Strang splitting for the total molecular propagator, and discrete variable representation with uniform grids. By employing the local diabatic representation, this method captures all non-adiabatic effects, including nonadiabatic transitions, electronic coherences, and geometric phases. Moreover, it is free of singularities in the first and second derivative couplings, and does not require a smooth gauge of electronic wavefunction phase. We further show that in contrast to the adiabatic representation, the split-operator method can be directly applied to the full molecular propagator with the locally diabatic ansatz. The Fourier series, employed as the primitive nuclear basis functions, is universal and can be applied to all types of reactive coordinates. The combination of local diabatic representation, Strang splitting, and Fourier basis allows exact modeling of conical intersection quantum dynamics directly with adiabatic electronic states that can be obtained from standard electronic structure computations. |
