An approach for simulating nonadiabatic dynamics based on the Nakajima-Zwanzig generalized quantum master equation (GQME) is presented. Unlike the most common GQME-based approaches, the modified approach (M-GQME) does not require casting the overall Hamiltonian in a system-bath form, which is neither natural nor convenient in the case of the molecular Hamiltonian that governs the nonadiabatic dynamics. Within the M-GQME framework, the effect of the degrees of freedom of the environment on the time evolution of the reduced density operator is fully captured by a memory kernel superoperator. Two numerical implementations are presented, where the memory kernel is calculated either employing the Ehrenfest mean-field method [1] or via a combination of the mapping Hamiltonian (MH) approach and the linearized semi-classical (LSC) approximation [2]. Both approaches are demonstrated on a benchmark spin-boson model and shown to lead to significantly more accurate results than a direct application of the Ehrenfest method while being computationally more robust than other GQME-based approaches.
