I know some of these words!

And which one is your favorite?

Tough question... I'd say it's a tossup between "the" and "nonadiabatic."

Honorable mention to "Möller-Plesset second order perturbation theory" which had to be disqualified for not being a single word. Nonadiabatic squeaked in under the margin on this one, I had to convince my spellchecker that it was, in fact, a single word.

Nonadiabatic dynamics are quite cool. My PhD research was on ultra-fast light driven processes, so I spent quite a bit of time trying to understand those. I like that word too! 😁
