TY  - JOUR
AB - In this article, we outline the current state-of-theart“on-the-fly” methods for non-adiabatic dynamics, highlightingthe similarities and differences between them. Wederive the equations of motion for both the Ehrenfest andvariational multi-configuration Gaussian (vMCG) methodsfrom the Dirac–Frenkel variational principle. We explorethe connections between these two methods by presentingan alternative derivation of the vMCG method, which givesthe Ehrenfest equations of motion when taking the appropriatelimits.
