The recently developed real-time nuclear-electronic orbital (RT-NEO) approach provides an elegant framework for treating electrons and selected nuclei, typically pro- tons, quantum mechanically in nonequilibrium dynamical processes. However, the RT-NEO approach neglects the motion of the other nuclei, preventing a complete de- scription of the coupled nuclear-electronic dynamics and spectroscopy. In this work, we describe the dynamical interaction between the other nuclei and the electron-proton subsystem with the mixed quantum-classical Ehrenfest dynamics method. The NEO- Ehrenfest approach propagates the electrons and quantum protons in a time-dependent variational framework, while the remaining nuclei move classically on the correspond- ing average electron-proton vibronic surface. This approach includes the non-Born- Oppenheimer eects between the electrons and quantum protons with RT-NEO and between the classical nuclei and the electron-proton subsystem with Ehrenfest dynam- ics. Spectral features for vibrational modes involving both quantum and classical nuclei are resolved from the time-dependent dipole moments. Moreover, nuclear quantum ef- fects are included directly in nonadiabatic dynamics simulations. The excited state intramolecular proton transfer in the o-hydroxybenzaldehyde molecule is shown to be faster and to exhibit a larger kinetic isotope eect with NEO-Ehrenfest compared to classical Ehrenfest dynamics. This work shows that the NEO-Ehrenfest method is a powerful tool to study dynamical processes with coupled electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom.
