Abstract

The time-dependent Hartree approximation is applied to intramolecular dynamics of polyatomics with smooth, locally quadratic potential surfaces. It is shown that the full quantum solution is obtained from a certain single self-consistent trajectory. An extremely simple model results, pertinent to intramolecular energy transfer, vibrational lineshapes and unimolecular decay.
