Description:
This paper presents an explicit and symplectic integrator called PICKABACK for quantum-classical molecular dynamics. This integration scheme is time reversible and unitary in the quantum part. We use the Lie formalism in order to construct a formal evolution operator which then is split using the Strang splitting yielding the symplectic discretization PICHABACK. Finally the new method is compared with a hybrid method in application to two examples: a collinear collision with a quantum oscillator and additionally a photodissociation process of a collinear ArHCI-molecule.
