Quantum mechanics as glance inside

Before we described the reverse engineering methods for program tools, applications and etc. Here I have an idea to look at the reverse engineering as tool to look inside the nature - the physical nature where we live - quantum chemistry, quantum mechanics. As with other disciplines in chemistry, computational chemistry uses tools to understand chemical reactions and processes. Scientists use computer software to gain insight into chemical processesThe challenges for computational chemistry are to characterize and predict the structure and stability of chemical systems, to estimate energy differences between different states, and to explain reaction pathways and mechanisms at the atomic level. Software tools for computational chemistry are often based on empirical information.


Molecules consist of electrons and nuclei. Most applications of quantum chemistry separate the motion of the nuclei from the motion of electrons (the Born-Oppenheimer approximation). The approximation results in a model of nuclei moving on a potential energy surface, with electrons adjusting instantly to changes in nuclear positions. Nuclear motion is constrained by the interaction of nuclei and electrons. At any fixed positions of the nuclei, potential energy is the sum of repulsions among the positively charged nuclei and attractions arising from the electrons. Electrons are the “glue” holding nuclei together.

Optimization the structure of the molecules
To calculate the properties of a molecule, you need to generate a well-defined structure. A calculation often requires a structure that represents a minimum on a potential energy surface.
Generating and Viewing Orbitals and Electronic Plots.
Orbital wave functions resulting from semiempirical and ab initio quantum mechanical calculations. It is interesting to view both the nodal properties and the relative sizes of the wave functions. Orbital wave functions can provide chemical insights.

Exploring Potential Energy Surfaces
Examine potential energy surfaces with single point calculations, optimizations, and molecular dynamic simulations. Energies and derivatives of energy, such as the forces on atoms, are necessary to “construct” a potential energy surface. This concept gives the molecular and quantum mechanics methods a unifying purpose: they generate the energies and energy derivatives necessary to produce and examine potential energy surfaces. The potential energy is always characterized by the body to the source of power (force field). Both molecular and quantum mechanics methods rely on the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. In quantum mechanics, the Schrödinger equation (1) gives the wave functions and energies of a molecule.
HY = EY                                                                                                                           (1)
where
H is the molecular Hamiltonian,
Y is the wave function,
E is the energy.

The molecular Hamiltonian is composed of these operators:
- the kinetic energy of the nuclei (N) and electrons (E),
- nuclear-nuclear (NN) and electron-electron repulsion (EE),
- and the attraction between nuclei and electrons (NE)
(equation 1).
H(kinetic energy)N + (kinetic energy)E = + (repulsion)NN + (repulsion)EE + (attraction)NE         (2)
Nuclei have many times more mass than electrons. During a very small period of time when the movement of heavy nuclei is negligible, electrons are moving so fast that their distribution is smooth. This leads to the approximation that the electron distribution is dependent only on the fixed positions of nuclei and not on their velocities. This approximation allows two simplifications of the molecular Hamiltonian. The nuclear kinetic energy term drops out of the molecular Hamiltonian. The nuclear kinetic energy term drops out (equation 3).
H = (kinetic energy)E + (repulsion)NN + (repulsion)EE + (attraction)NE                         (3)

Since the nuclear-nuclear repulsion is constant for a fixed configuration of atoms, this term also drops out. The Hamiltonian is now purely electronic.
Helectronic = (kinetic energy)E + (repulsion)EE + (attraction)NE                                    (4)

After solving the electronic Schrödinger equation (equation 4), to calculate a potential energy surface, you must add back nuclear-nuclear repulsions (equation 5).
HelectronicYelectronic = EelectronicYelectronic

VPES = Eelectronic + (repulsion)NN                                                                        (5)
Generating the potential energy surface (PES) using this equation requires solutions for many configurations of nuclei. In molecular mechanics, the electronic energy is not evaluated explicitly. Instead, these methods solve the potential energy surface by using a force field equation. The force field equation represents electronic energy implicitly through parameterization.


This means that the forces on the atoms are zero for the structures found at A and C. The structure at C is more stable than the structure at A. In fact, C is the global minimum for this example. Geometry
optimizations seek minima such as A and C.
Types of Calculations
There are three types of calculations in HyperChem:
- single point,
- geometry optimization or minimization,
- molecular dynamics.

Single Point
A single point calculation gives the static properties of a molecule. The properties include potential energy, derivatives of the potential energy, electrostatic potential, molecular orbital energies, and the coefficients of molecular orbitals for ground or excited states. The input molecular structure for a single point calculation usually reflects the coordinates of a stationary point on the potential energy surface, typically a minimum or transition state. Use a geometry optimization to prepare a molecule for a single point calculation. One type of single point calculation, that of calculating vibrational properties, is distinguished as a vibrations calculation in Hyper-Chem. A vibrations calculation predicts fundamental vibrational frequencies, infrared absorption intensities, and normal modes for a geometry optimized molecular structure. You can use a single point calculation that determines energies for ground and excited states, using configuration interaction, to predict frequencies and intensities of an electronic ultraviolet-visible spectrum.

Geometry Optimization
To carry out a geometry optimization (minimization), HyperChem starts with a set of Cartesian coordinates for a molecule and tries to find a new set of coordinates with a minimum potential energy. The potential energy surface is very complex, even for a molecule containing only a few dihedral angles. Since minimization calculations cannot cross or penetrate potential energy barriers, the molecular structure found during an optimization may be a local and not a global minimum. The minimum represents the potential energy closest to the starting structure of a molecule. Researchers frequently use minimizations to generate a structure at a stationary point for a subsequent single point calculation or to remove excessive strain in a molecule, preparing it for a molecular dynamics simulation.

Transition State Search
As mentioned earlier, a potential energy surface may contain saddle points; that is, stationary points where there are one or more directions in which the energy is at a maximum. A saddle point with one negative eigenvalue (Собственное значение) corresponds to a transition structure for a chemical reaction of changing isomeric form. Transition structures also exist for reactions involving separated species, for example, in a bimolecular reaction
A + B → C + D.
Activation energy, i.e., the energy of the transition structure relative to reactants, can be observed experimentally. However, the only way that the geometries of transition structures can be evaluated is from theory. Theory also can give energetics and geometry parameters of short-lived reaction intermediates. Transition state search algorithms rather climb up the potential energy surface, unlike geometry optimization routines where an energy minimum is searched for. The characterization of even a simple reaction potential surface may result in location of more than one transition structure, and is likely to require many more individual calculations than are necessary to obtain equilibrium geometries for either reactant or product.

Calculated transition structures may be very sensitive to the level of theory employed. Semi-empirical methods, since they are parametrized for energy minimum structures, may be less appropriate for transition state searching than ab initio methods are. Transition structures are normally characterized by weak “partial” bonds, that is, being broken or formed. In these cases UHF calculations are necessary, and sometimes even the inclusion of electron correlation effects.

Molecular Dynamics
A molecular dynamics simulation samples phase space (the region defined by atomic positions and velocities) by integrating numerically Newton’s equations of motion. Unlike single point and geometry optimization calculations, molecular dynamics calculation account for thermal motion. Molecules may contain enough thermal energy to cross potential barriers. Molecular dynamics calculations provide information about possible conformations, thermodynamic properties, and dynamic behavior of molecules.

Langevin Dynamics
Molecules in solution undergo collisions with other molecules and experience frictional forces as they move through the solvent. Using Langevin dynamics, you can model these effects and study the dynamical behavior of a molecular system in a liquid environment. These simulations can be much faster than molecular dynamics. Instead of explicitly including solvent molecules, the Langevin method models their effect through random forces applied to the molecule of interest to simulate collisions, and frictional forces are added to model the energy losses associated with these collisions.
Langevin dynamics simulations can be used to study the same kinds of problems as molecular dynamics: time dependent properties of solvated systems at non-zero temperatures. Because of the implicit treatment of the solvent, this method is particularly wellsuited for studying large molecules in solution. It is possible to decouple the time scales of molecular motion and focus on just the slow modes associated with conformational changes, for example, or to follow the rapid bond stretching motions leading to chemical reaction, while incorporating the influence of molecular collisions. Langevin dynamics has been use to study solvent effects on the structural dynamics of the active site of the enzyme lysozyme, conformational equilibria and the dynamics of conformational transitions in liquid alkanes, and temperature effects on a system of interacting quantum harmonic oscillators.

Monte Carlo Simulations
The Monte Carlo method samples phase space by generating random configurations from a Boltzmann distribution at a given temperature. Averages computed from a properly equilibrated Monte Carlo simulation correspond to thermodynamic ensemble averages. Thus, the Monte Carlo method can be used to find average energies and equilibrium structural properties of complex interacting systems. A sequence of successive configurations from a Monte Carlo simulation constitutes a trajectory in phase space; with HyperChem, this trajectory may be saved and played back in the same way as a dynamics trajectory. With appropriate choices of setup parameters, the Monte Carlo method may achieve equilibration more rapidly than molecular dynamics. For some systems, then, Monte Carlo provides a more direct route to equilibrium structural and thermodynamic properties. However, these calculations can be quite long, depending upon the system studied. Monte Carlo simulations provide an alternate approach to the generation of stable conformations. As with HyperChem’s other simulation methods, the effects of temperature changes and solvation are easily incorporated into the calculations.

HyperChem uses two types of methods in calculations:
- molecular mechanics
- quantum mechanics.
The quantum mechanics methods implemented in HyperChem include:
- semi-empirical quantum mechanics method
- ab initio quantum mechanics method.

Molecular Mechanics
Molecular mechanical force fields use the equations of classical mechanics to describe the potential energy surfaces and physical properties of molecules. A molecule is described as a collection of atoms that interact with each other by simple analytical functions. This description is called a force field. One component of a force field is the energy arising from compression and stretching a bond. We try to find the potential energy. The potential energy of a molecular system in a force field is the sum of individual components of the potential, such as bond,  angle, and van der Waals potentials (equation 8). The energies of the individual bonding components (bonds, angles, and dihedrals) are functions of the deviation of a molecule from a hypothetical compound that has bonded interactions at minimum values.
ETotal = term1 + term2 + ¼+ termn                                                          (8)
The absolute energy of a molecule in molecular mechanics has no intrinsic physical meaning; ETotal values are useful only for comparisons between molecules. Energies from single point calculations are related to the enthalpies of the molecules. However, they are not enthalpies because thermal motion and temperature dependent contributions are absent from the energy terms (equation 8).
Unlike quantum mechanics, molecular mechanics does not treat electrons explicitly. Molecular mechanics calculations cannot describe bond formation, bond breaking, or systems in which electronic delocalization or molecular orbital interactions play a major role in determining geometry or properties. This discussion focuses on the individual components of a typical molecular mechanics force field. It illustrates the mathematical functions used, why those functions are chosen, and the circumstances under which the functions become poor approximations.

The structure and physical properties of the molecule. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water molecules are located in the corners of an isosceles triangle with the length of the O-H 0.0957 nm; valence angle H-O-H 104,5 °; dipole moment of 6.17 * 10-30 * m Cl; molecular polarizability 1.45 * 10-3 Nm3; the average quadrupole time - 1.87 * 10-41 m2 * Kl, the ionization energy of 12.6 eV, proton affinity of 7.1 eV.

We make Minimizing the Energy of a System. Molecular mechanics geometry optimization; single point calculations; using reflection through a plane to perform a symmetry transformation;
In this we minimize the energy of water using the AMBER force field.
Energy minimization alters molecular geometry to lower the energy of the system, and yields a more stable conformation. As the minimization progresses, it searches for a molecular structure in which the energy does not change with infinitesimal changes in geometry. This means that the derivative of the energy with respect to all Cartesian coordinates, called the gradient, is near zero. This is known as a stationary point on the potential energy surface. If small changes in geometric parameters raise the energy of the molecule, the conformation is relatively stable, and is referred to as a minimum. If the energy lowers by small changes in one or more dimensions, but not in all dimensions, it is a saddle point (точка перевала).

A molecular system can have many minima. The one with the lowest energy is called the global minimum and the rest are referred to as local minima. We find the global minimum energyBefore you build the chair structure of any structure and perform a molecular mechanics optimization, you should choose a molecular mechanics force field provided with HyperChem. A force field contains atom types and parameters that must be assigned to the molecule before you perform a molecular mechanics calculation. For this exercise,  the AMBER force field.

The AMBER (Assisted Model Building and Energy Refinement) is based on a force field developed for protein and nucleic acid computations by members of the Peter Kollman research group at the University of California, San Francisco. The original AMBER has become one of the more widely used academic force fields and extensive work has gone into developing it — resulting in a number of versions of the method and associated parameters. Hyper-Chem gives results equivalent to Versions 2.0 and 3.0a of the AMBER program distributed by the Kollman group and parameter sets for both these versions are distributed with HyperChem. AMBER was first developed as a united atom force field [S. J.Weiner et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 106, 765 (1984)] and later extended to include an all atom version [S. J. Weiner et al., J. Comp. Chem., 7, 230 (1986)]. HyperChem allows the user to switch back and forth between the united atom and all atom force fields as well as to mix the two force fields within the same molecule. Since the force field was developed for macromolecules, there are few atom types and parameters for small organic systems or inorganic systems, and most calculations on such systems with the AMBER force field will fail from lack of parameters.



Set both the Electrostatic and van der Waals 1-4 scale factors to 0.5.
These options determine the scaling of nonbonded interactions for atoms that are separated by three bonds. The AMBER parameters were derived with both scale factors set to 0.5 so you should normally use these with the AMBER force field.

Intermolecular interaction determines the difference between real gases from ideal, the existence of liquids and pier. crystals. From intermolecular interactions depend on many others. structural, spectroscopic, thermodynamic., The emergence of the concept of intermolecular interaction associated with the name van der Waals forces, to explain the Holy-in real gases and liquids offered in 1873, taking into account the intermolecular interaction (see. Van der Waals equation) . Therefore, the intermolecular interaction forces are often called van der Waals.

Single Point
A single point calculation gives the static properties of a molecule. The properties include potential energy, derivatives of the potential energy, electrostatic potential, molecular orbital energies, and the coefficients of molecular orbitals for ground or excited states. The input molecular structure for a single point calculation usually reflects the coordinates of a stationary point on the potential energy surface, typically a minimum or transition state.
Geometry optimization
The minimum represents the potential energy closest to the starting structure of a molecule.
Ab initio (from the lat -. "From the beginning") - study the phenomenon of the natural laws without additional empirical assumptions or special models.
Ab initio in physics - the first solution of the problem of the fundamental principles without additional empirical assumptions. Usually it refers to the direct solution of the equations of quantum mechanics. Despite the name, this is often done when any assumptions and simplifications. Such simplifications allow us to calculate the system with a large number of atoms or atoms that has a larger number of electrons. An example of this simplification is the use of PAW-potentials.
Ab initio quantum chemistry methods are computational chemistry methods based on quantum chemistry. The term ab initio was first used in quantum chemistry by Robert Parr and coworkers, including David Craig in a semiempirical study on the excited states of benzene. The all methods based on to solve the Schrödinger equation. In the Hartree–Fock method and the configuration interaction method, this approximation allows one to treat the Schrödinger equation as a "simple" eigenvalue (собственное значение) equation of the electronic molecular Hamiltonian, with a discrete set of solutions.
RHF calculation in computational physics and chemistry, the Hartree–Fock (HF) method is a method of approximation for the determination of the wave function and the energy of a quantum many-body system in a stationary state.
