Comment on "Correlated electron-nuclear dynamics: Exact factorization of the molecular wavefunction" [J. Chem. Phys. 137, 22A530 (2012)]
read the original abstract
In spite of the relevance of the proposal introduced in the recent work A. Abedi, N. T. Maitra and E. K. U. Gross, J. Chem. Phys. 137, 22A530, 2012, there is an important ingredient which is missing. Namely, the proof that the norms of the electronic and nuclear wavefunctions which are the solutions to the nonlinear equations of motion are preserved by the evolution. To prove the conservation of these norms is precisely the objective of this Comment.
