Cover Story: A molecular electronic wavefunction prepared at a highly excited adiabatic state embedded in a densely quasi-degenerate manifold quickly begins to undergo continual nonadiabatic mixing with other states, each of which in turn further mixes with other states. The mixing is caused by the so-called nonadiabatic interactions due to a significant breakdown of the Born–Oppenheimer approximations. The resultant electronic wavepacket penetrates into the broader domain in the Hilbert space, and thus, the dynamics looks like a fractional Brownian motion. A monotonically increasing Shannon entropy and other indicators highlight the presence of quantum chaos in the electronic state of molecules. This intensive chaos brings about peculiar characteristics in the dynamics of molecules. View this paper
