Abstract
The method of direct variational quantum nuclear dynamics in a basis of Gaussian wavepackets, combined with the potential energy surfaces fitted on-the-fly using Gaussian process regression, is described together with its implementation. Enabling exact and efficient analytic evaluation of Hamiltonian matrix elements, this approach allows for black-box quantum dynamics of multidimensional anharmonic molecular systems. Example calculations of intra-molecular proton transfer on the electronic ground state of salicylaldimine are provided, and future algorithmic improvements as well as the potential for multiple-state non-adiabatic dynamics are discussed.
