Quantum dynamics in liquid solutions and other anharmonic many-body
systems: When do we need it, and why is it so difficult in practice.
Reduction schemes in quantum nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics:
Equilibrium averages from PIMD and PIMC; Bloch-Redfield and higher order
master equations; Linear and nonlinear response; The generalized master
equation and influence functional formalism.
Real-time vs. Imaginary time path integral approaches: CMD vs. LSC
(linearized semiclassical) approximations.
Quantum mechanical rate constants for one-electronic-surface
(adiabatic) systems: Reaction rate constants and vibrational relaxation
rate constants.
A general relationship between the CMD and LSC approximations.
