The inclusion of nuclear quantum effects in the simulation of multidimensional vibrational spectroscopy of condensed-phase systems is challenging since full quantum-mechanical calculations are still impractical for systems comprising many degrees of freedom. Here, we introduce an approach based on imaginary-time path-integral-based techniques, such as ring- polymer molecular dynamics and centroid molecular dynamics, as a practical way of including nuclear quantum effects in multi-time correlation functions [1-3]. Benchmark calculations on 1D model potentials show that the methodology provide consistent improvement over classical simulations. Additional, we showcase the approach in the simulation of 2D Raman spectroscopy of Lennard-Jones liquids [4]. Our results show that the proposed approach enables simulations of multidimensional optical spectroscopy of condensed-phase systems accounting for nuclear quantum effects.
