case-details

In this project in collaboration with OpenMolcas, I implemented the Tully surface hopping algorithm to perform semiclassical molecular dynamics and study photoactive proteins. The video shows our modeling of the events following the photon absorption: we see the trajectory of a rhodopsin that “hops” from the excited state to the ground state using a conical intersection.
