Summary
This lecture describes, in a pedagogic manner, the basic theory used in time dependent quantum reactive scattering theory. The calculations are based on propagating a prepared wavepacket forward in time using the time dependent Schrödinger equation. The advantages of the theory lie in the fact that a single time dependent propagation of the wavepacket provides the cross sections over a wide range of energies.
