A wide variety of theoretical models have been proposed to capture the essential aspects of the system-environment interactions while reducing the large number of degrees of freedom required to describe the environment. Among such approaches, continuum solvation models treat the environmental degrees of freedom implicitly, sacrificing any atomistic description thereof. The combination of continuum models and QM descriptions of the system has shown to give an accurate description of systemenvironment interactions, in all the cases where the latter can be represented in terms of an average effect. 20–23 However, an atomistic description of the environment becomes necessary when the change in the system’s properties are the result of specific system-environment interactions which strongly depend on the relative orientation and distance between the two (e.g. solute-solvent hydrogen bondings). 24 To preserve the atomistic nature of the environment, hybrid models were devised in which the system electronic degrees of freedom are treated quantum mechanically (QM), while the environment is described at a classical level (often through molecular mechanics (MM)). 25–27 The most common examples of hybrid QM/MM models include the effect of the classical environment on the QM system using fixed point charges to represent the environment atoms. This “electrostatic” embedding approach has shown to capture the large part of the environment effects, but obviously it cannot model any mutual polarization between the system and its environment. To overcome this limitation, in recent years hybrid QM/MM models have been generalized to include a “polarizable” embedding. Many approaches for including the polarization of the system by its environment (and vice versa) have been explored, including the so-called “Effective Fragment Potential Method”, 28,29 “induced dipoles”, 30–34 “fluctuating charges”, 35–38 and Drude oscillator-based models. 39 In this paper, the induced dipole formulation of polarizable MM (MMPol) is employed to describe the the environment degrees of freedom, while the system degrees of freedom are treated quantum mechanically via the time-dependent self consistent field approach.

In particular, the QM/MMPol formulation is here extended to RT-TDDFT for computations of spectroscopic quantities and simulations of the electronic dynamics of chemical systems embedded in a large polarizable force field. LRTDDFT calculations on QM/MMPol systems have already been performed and validated in previous works to simulate electronic spectra of (supra)molecular systems in complex environments. 30,40–43 Very recently, during the development of this paper, an example of the extension of MM polarizable embeddings to RTTDDFT has been presented within the software deMon2k that relies on auxiliary fitted densities. 44 In this work, we also consider the timedependent response of covalently bonded protein residues in addition to electrostatics of solvent. The time-dependent electronic degrees of freedom of the quantum subsystem are modeled with the RT-TDDFT approach, i

where K and P are the Kohn-Sham/Fock and density matrices in the orthonormal basis, respectively. Equation (1) is integrated using the modified midpoint unitary transformation (MMUT) approach, a second order “leap-frog” style algorithm, 5,6,45,46 P(tk+1 ) = U(tk ) · P(tk−1 ) · U† (tk ) U(tk ) = C(tk ) exp [−i2∆t λ(tk )] C(tk ) (2) λ(tk ) = C† (tk ) · K(tk ) · C(tk ) where C and λ are the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the Kohn-Sham/Fock matrix. To describe the many-electron dynamics embedded in a polarizable force field, one needs to integrate the mutual interaction and polarization between the TDDFT and MMPol subsystems during the reaction dynamics. The interaction between the polarizable environment and the quantum system is introduced via a density-dependent operator, VMMPol , in

In addition, we assume that the process of geometrical relaxation (reorientation) of the environment happens at a slower timescale than the one investigated, and therefore we keep the positions of the MM atoms frozen. The first case study is the solvatochromic dye coumarin 153, 51–60 a member of a class of molecules widely employed as sensitizers in solar cells. 61 The RT-TDDFT/MMPol electronic dynamics of the coumarin 153 dye in methanol solvent are simulated to resolve the absorption spectrum. All the calculations were performed by employing the PBE0 62 hybrid functional with the 6-31g(d) basis set. 63,64 Coumarin 153 was placed in a box of 175 methanol molecules and a schematic picture is given in Fig. 1. 65,66 The solvation box was previously equilibrated using the Amber parm99SB force field. 67–69 LRTDDFT and RT-TDDFT calculation were performed at QM/MMPol theory level in order to obtain absorption spectra that include solute/solvent mutual polarization. The real-time dynamics simulations were performed for 15 fs with an electronic time step of ∼0.25 attoseconds. The external electric field employed to perturb the system had an intensity of 0.0001

where we use R and R to indicate nuclear coordinates in the MM and QM regions, respectively. The bra-ket notation implicitly integrates over the electronic degrees of freedom r. We also use the index p and p′ to label the polarizable sites in the MM region. During the time-evolution of the quantum electronic dynamics, the Kohn-Sham/Fock matrix (Eq. (3)) is computed on-the-fly at every time step by including the time-dependent perturbing potential (Eq. (4)) arising from the induced MM dipoles µp (P′ (t)). The timedependence of the MM dipoles µp (t) arises from the fact that the dipoles are computed as the linear response to the electric field produced by the MM charges and time-dependent QM density, by solving the following linear system of equations X

Spp′ and Spp′ parameters used in the following case studies are tabulated in the Supplementary Information. In this work, we only consider static polarizabilities of the environment. This is a reasonable and useful approximation for cases where the electric field generated by the QM region is oscillating much slower than the response in the MM region. 50 In Eq. (5), we have assumed that the electronic degrees of freedom of the environment, modelled here by the induced dipoles, respond instantaneously to the electric field produced by the time-dependent electronic density of charge ρ(r, t) at each polarizable site p:

K′ (t) = K′0 (t, P′ (t)) + VMMPol (q, µ(P′ (t))) (3) where K′0 is the perturbation-free Hamiltonian matrix for the QM region. Note that primed notations reference corresponding matrices in non-orthogonal atomic orbital basis. VMMPol (q, µ(P′ (t))) is the time-dependent interaction potential induced by the MM charges and induced dipoles µ(t) from the MMPol region. This perturbation term represented in the atomic basis (λ, ν, ...) takes on the following form, 30,31 X qi MMPol |νi Vλν =− hλ| |r − Ri | i X µp (P′ (t)) · (Rp − r) |νi (4) − hλ| |r − Rp |3 p

of the chromophore. Even small changes in the conformations of residues can significantly shift the absorption. 76 Including mutual polarization between the environment and RPSB is required in order to accurately recover the excitation energies, 76 and because RPSB undergoes a cis/trans photoisomerization, 77–80 accurate descriptions of the early-time electron dynamics are essential for understanding this process. The comparison between the LR- and RT-TDDFT for RPSB are shown in Fig. 4. Again, the spectra show excellent agreement, with all of the peaks showing the same positions and relative intensities between methods. It is also informative to investigate the dynamics of the net dipoles in both the QM and MM regions. As can be seen in Fig. 5, the net dipole in the MM region shows anti-oscillatory behavior compared to that in the QM region. Because the dipoles are being propagated instantaneously with the perturbed electronic density, this behavior is expected; the dipoles are responding to the changing electronic density by aligning to the lowest energy position against the dipole in the QM region.

one peak centered at 3.27 eV and the other at 6.12 eV; the more energetic peak is about twice as intense as the first. In order to validate the developed method, the absorption spectrum is compared to the LR-TDDFT calculation coupled with the same MMPol approach. Figure 2 shows that the LR- and RT-TDDFT spectra are in excellent agreement. The coumarin model system provides good support for the validity of this model in the case of a solute/solvent system. However, simulating a heterogeneous environment such as that provided by a protein is much more challenging. In order to test the RT-TDDFT/MMPol method developed in this work, the 11-cis retinal protonated Schiff base (RPSB, Fig. 3) in bovine rhodopsin residues was investigated. Simulations were carried out at the CAMB3LYP 75 /6-31g(d) 63,64 level of theory. The structure was obtained from a cluster analysis of frames extracted from QM/MM molecular dynamics (MD) trajectories where the QM part was treated within DFT using the PBE exchange-correlation functional (see Ref. 40 for the details). The interactions with the surrounding residues strongly affect the optical properties

ficity which is not present in non-polarizable embeddings. 81–84 When we consider an electronic excitation in the QM subsystem, the electronic component of the environment response (here represented by the induced dipoles) can be determined by either the corresponding transition density or the change in the electronic density between ground and excited state. The former response is accounted for in a LRTDDFT approach while the latter requires going beyond the standard TDDFT formulation and calculating the relaxation of the electronic density upon excitation. To account for this State-Specific (SS) term within a TDDFT framework, different approximations have been proposed. 34,58,85,86 The simplest one is a perturbative correction to the excitation energy which is calculated in terms of the interaction between the change in the electronic density and the corresponding change in the electronic component of the environment polarization. Such an approach (commonly known as corrected LR, or cLR) was originally proposed for PCM, 85 but it has been more recently extended to the induced dipole formulation of polarizable MM, 34 and it is also used here (Tab. 1).

able models has not yet been achieved, we expect the RT formalism to be able to provide clearer insights into how to properly describe the response of environment to excited state dynamics. A detailed investigation of these aspects will be object of a future communication. Real-time TDDFT is coupled with a polarizable QM/MM model, connecting the propagation of a wave function with the mutual polarization between the QM system and the environment. The proposed method was successfully validated by comparing the spectrum calculated by both this method and LR-TDDFT of two completely different systems: a solvatochromatic dye in methanol solution and a chromophore in its protein environment. Until now RT-TDDFT simulations of solvated systems or protein environments were either based on computationally expensive full quantum mechanical time-dependent theory or coupled with the mean-field time-dependent polarizable continuum model. With the timedependent mutual polarization approach introduced in this work, the coupled RT-TDDFT and polarizable force field approach holds the potential to accurately probe the ultrafast nonequilibrium interaction between both the solvent and solute degrees of freedom and a chromophore embedded in its protein environment.

The setup of the real time simulation, i.e., the system in the ground state is perturbed with a very short pulse and then left to evolve, is consistent with the assumptions made in LRTDDFT. Consequently, the RT-TDDFT results match the LR-TDDFT ones, while the statespecific (SS) corrected shift is larger. This discrepancy is of particular interest for understanding the different regimes modeled by the LR and SS approach.
