DESCRIPTION:Title: Propagation of coherent states and problems of conical i
ntersections\n\nAbstract: \n\nIn this talk\, we will study the propagation
of coherent states (or wavepackets) for a system of coupled Schr枚dinger e
quations\, in the semi-classical limit.\n These equations appear in Quantum
Chemistry to describe large molecules - namely with a very small electron
ic mass / nucleus mass ratio (semi-classical parameter).\n The coupling bet
ween these equations can generate interesting phenomena: the Born-Oppenhei
mer Approximation is not valid anymore and transitions between energy leve
ls can occur.\n Usually\, these couplings are induced by a matrix-valued po
tential with 'eigenvalue crossings': they are equal on some region of the
phase space.\n We will focus on a precise question about the stability of t
he solution. Consider an initial coherent state (one can think of a gaussi
an)\, well-localized in phase space\, 'living' in a chosen eigenspace of t
he potential (ie at some given energy level). Does the associated solution
keep the same localization property at leading order and does it stay in
the same eigenspace (adiabaticity) ?\n Without technical details\, we will
study various situations for several types of crossings leading to transit
ion phenomena.\n\nWhere: Pavillion Andr茅-Aisenstadt\, room 5183\, and by Z
