33. Objective
Finding a quantum-classical correspondence for nonadiabatic steady states
i.e. How time-invariant structures in nuclear phase space should be quantized
Especially, the semiclassical concepts of the nonadiabatic transition (i.e. classical
dynamics on adiabatic surfaces and hopping) should be held.
!
The reason is that some pioneering studies that treat electrons and nuclei in equal-
footing-manner have been already presented for the semiclassical quantization.
e.g. Meyer-Miller (JCP 70, 3214 (1979)) and Stock-Thoss (PRL. 78, 578 (1997))

Nonadiabatic Trace formula
That is, individual PHPO cannot be quantized.
We must introduce another way to take the summation of
infinite number of the PHPOs
36. Bit sequence which represents PHPO
A concrete example: Two adiabatic harmonic oscillators which interact nonadiabatically at the origin only.
D12 = (R) sin(✓)
Ri Rj Rk Rl 0, 1, 1, and 0 are assigned when a
trajectory passes through Ri, Rj, Rk, and Rl,
respectively
Assignment of bit
e.g.,
adiabatic (no hopping) PO: 0000000…
!
!
diabatic (fully nonadiabatic) PO: 0101010…
!
!
Periodic bit sequences representing PHPOs can be expressed with dots on the fist and last bits
˙011˙1 ⌘ 011101110111 · · ·
˙0˙1 ⌘ 0101010101 · · ·
36
We can also confirm that the periodic and non-periodic orbits correspond to rational and irrational
numbers, respectively, because periodic bit sequences correspond to rational number in binary digits.
So, the number of periodic orbits is countable infinite while the number of arbitrary orbits is uncountable
infinite.
37. D12 = (R) sin(✓)
Ri Rj Rk Rl ˙01000111001˙1
0 in odd-numbered bits means “returning to Ri”.
Decomposition of each PHPO
01 + 00 + 0111 + 0011
At the 0 in odd-numbered bits, we can decompose this
PHPO to “more primitive (prime) bits (PHPOs)”.
Threfore, arbitrary hopping periodic orbits passing through Ri can be represented by combinations of
these prime PHPOs:
00, 01, 0110, 0111, 0010, 0011
,where 1 means combinations of 11 and 10.
Hereafter, this set of prime PHOPs are represented as
