Demonstrates enhanced vibrational spectra simulation through DragonBall software, indicating improved workflow efficiency.
One of the most fascinating and key aspects in simulating vibrational spectra is accounting for the anharmonicity of the vibrational motions. The quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) method allows for the computation of fully anharmonic vibrational spectra, using a single trajectory initialized with quantized energy. Unfortunately, the everyday use of QCT requires constant juggling between the different input and output formats of the various quantum chemistry software and the use of different computational and visualization tools among these steps. In this paper, we showcase Dragonball, a modular Python suite that guides the user in each step of the QCT simulation, from guess geometry to final spectrum.
