“…Moreover, the fundamental constructs of the BO approach, the BOPESs, form the launching ground for methods that describe processes beyond the adiabatic regime where the BO approximation itself fails. Prominent examples of such electronic non-adiabatic processes appear throughout physics, chemistry and biology, for example, vision, [2][3][4] photosynthesis, 5,6 photo-voltaics, [7][8][9] and proton-transfer/hydrogen storage. [10][11][12][13] The standard approaches to describe non-adiabatic molecular processes are in terms of coupled BOPESs and transitions between the corresponding adiabatic electronic states induced by the nuclear motion.…”
