Accelerated “On‐the‐Fly” Coupled‐Cluster Path‐Integral Molecular Dynamics: Impact of Nuclear Quantum Effects on An Asymmetric Proton

open access: yesJournal of Computational Chemistry, Volume 47, Issue 21, August 5, 2026.
Accelerated on‐the‐fly CC‐PIMD combines quantum ring‐polymer contraction with a CCSD/HF force decomposition to treat electron correlation and nuclear quantum effects simultaneously. For an asymmetric shared proton, NQEs reshape proton localization and induce NMR shielding changes comparable to electron correlation.
