Path-integral Monte Carlo calculation of reaction-diffusion equation
Path-integral formulation and Monte Carlo calculations of the reaction-diffusion equation of condensed phase chemical reactions are presented. Numerical calculations are demonstrated for the Sumi-Marcus model of electron transfer reactions, which include the slow and intermediate diffusion regimes, ultrafast photoinduced electron transfers, and nonequilibrium initial distributions.
