The single switch trajectory surface hopping algorithm is tested for numerical simulations of a two-state three-mode model for the internal conversion of pyrazine through a conical intersection of potential energy surfaces. The algorithm is compared to two other surface hopping approaches, namely, Tully's method of the fewest switches [J. Chem. Phys. 93, 1061 (1990)] and the method by Voronin [J. Phys. Chem. A 102, 6057 (1998)]. The single switch algorithm achieves the most accurate results. Replacing its deterministic nonadiabatic branching condition by a probabilistic accept-reject criterion, one obtains the method of Voronin without momentum adjustment. This probabilistic version of the single switch approach outperforms the considered algorithms in terms of accuracy, memory requirement, and runtime. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
