The outcome of a gas phase chemical reaction is the result of competition between a variety of underlying microscopic processes, including collisional energy transfer, internal energy redistribution, bonding rearrangements, and, sometimes, inherently quantum mechanical events like electronic transitions. These same phenomena govern reactivity in more complex energetic environments, and one of our main goals is to develop a comprehensive set of first-principles approaches for describing the fundamental chemical physics of these phenomena with high accuracy and that are broadly applicable throughout chemistry.
The improvement of first-principles theories via the construction of more and more detailed physical models benefits from the increasing impact of large-scale computing in chemistry, including Argonne’s own leadership-class resources. Our focus on the development of methods and codes for dynamics and kinetics recognizes that these approaches are now poised to take full advantage of the tremendous advances made in electronic structure theory over the past several decades.
We often pursue the development of semiclassical strategies, where the term is used here to describe approaches that incorporate one or more quantum effect into dynamics simulations involving classical or nearly classical nuclear motion. Semiclassical methods offer a scalable balance of computational cost and accuracy and are thus well suited for high performance computing. We focus on the advancement of first-principles semiclassical approaches, i.e., methods that are systematically improvable, and we have demonstrated in a variety of contexts that our most detailed models have accuracies that match and sometimes even exceed what is possible experimentally.
The increased accuracy of a priori theory and its use alongside experiment as an independent source of quantitative chemical and physical information may be anticipated to have a transformative effect in chemical modeling.
Recent work has continued the development of methods and codes for nonadiabatic dynamics and intersystem crossing, collisional energy transfer and transport, potential energy surface fitting, nonequilibrium reactivity, and rovibrational anharmonicity at high energies and temperatures.

Note: Two errors have been found in the above article.
Correction 1: The fractions in eq 16 are upside down. Equation 16 should read
Fic = a exp(–T/b) + (1–a) exp(–T/c) + exp(–d/T) (16)
Correction 2: The value of A for H2 + cis-HCOH in Table 5 should be 8.729 e–6, not 8.729e6.
