Popis: We perform nonadiabatic simulations of warm dense aluminum based on the electron-force field (EFF) variant of wave-packet molecular dynamics. Comparison of the static ion-ion structure factor with density functional theory (DFT) is used to validate the technique across a range of temperatures and densities spanning the warm dense matter regime. Focusing on a specific temperature and density (3.5 eV, 5.2 g/cm^{3}), we report on differences in the dynamic structure factor and dispersion relation across a variety of adiabatic and nonadiabatic techniques. We find the dispersion relation produced with EFF is in close agreement with the more robust and adiabatic Kohn-Sham DFT.
