Part of the book series: The Jerusalem Symposia on Quantum Chemistry and Biochemistry ((JSQC,volume 19))

Abstract

We describe several applications of the Fast Fourier transform algorithm for numerical solutions of the few body Schrodinger equation. Simple models for quantum diffusion of interacting particles are studied in detail. Thermal relaxation and friction effects in non- adiabatic tunneling systems is studied within the semiclassical time dependent Self Consistent Field approximations.
