A new concept of the molecular structure optimization method based on quantum dynamics computations is presented. Nuclei are treated as quantum mechanical particles, as are electrons, and the many-body wave function of the system is optimized by the imaginary time evolution method. The numerical demonstrations with a two-dimensional H<sub>2</sub> <sup>+</sup> system and a H-C-N system exemplify two possible advantages of our proposed method: (1) the optimized nuclear positions can be specified w ...[more]
