The crossover from nonadiabatic to adiabatic electron transfer has been theoretically studied under a spin-boson model (dissipative two-state system) description. We present numerically exact data for the thermal transfer rate and the time-dependent occupation probabilities in largely unexplored regions of parameter space, using real-time path-integral Monte Carlo simulations. The dynamical sign problem is relieved by employing a variant of the recently proposed multilevel blocking algorithm. We identify the crossover regime between nonadiabatic and adiabatic electron transfer, both in the classical (high-temperature) and the quantum (low-temperature) limit. The electron transfer dynamics displays rich behaviors, including multi-exponential decay and the breakdown of a rate description due to vibrational coherence. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
