(a) Time-dependent diabatic populations in the two electronic states (S₀^d and S₁) in LiF for ω_c = 3.9 eV and ϵ_c = 0.13 V nm^–1 calculated with the CBO ansatz. (b) Time-dependent adiabatic populations in the two electronic states in LiF for the same cavity parameters obtained by transformation from the diabatic nuclear wave functions (^TS₀^a and ^TS₁, solid lines) and directly from the adiabatic dynamics (S₀^a and S₁, lighter dashed lines). The norm (total population) is depicted as a gray line in both panels.
