Abstract

The multilayer multiconfiguration time-dependent Hartree (ML-MCTDH) method is implemented in the interaction picture to allow a more effective description of correlation effects. It is shown that the artificial correlation present in the original Schrödinger picture can be removed with an appropriate choice of the zeroth-order Hamiltonian. Thereby, operators in the interaction picture are obtained through time-dependent unitary transformations, which have negligible computational cost compared with other parts of the ML-MCTDH algorithm. The efficiency of the method is demonstrated by application to a model of vibrationally coupled charge transport in molecular junctions.
