Quantum wavepacket approach to chemical reaction dynamics. Perspective on "Dynamics of the collinear H+H-2 reaction. I. Probability density and flux"- McCullough EA Jr, Wyatt RE (1971) J Chem Phys 54 : 3578

This paper presents an overview of the time-dependent quantum wavepacket ap proach to chemical reaction dynamics. After a brief review of some early wo rks, the payer gives an up-to-date account of the recent development of com putational methodologies in time-dependent quantum dynamics. The presentati on of the paper focuses on the development of accurate or numerically exact time-dependent methods and their specific applications to tetraatomic reac tions. After summarizing the current state-of-the-art time-dependent wavepa cket approach, a perspective on future development is provided.
