Based on the analysis of various properties, namely electronic populations and coherences, nuclear kinetic energy and dissociation probability, we conclude that there is not a unique coupled-trajectory method that stands out for its agreement with the reference results. CT-MQC and CTMQC-E perform well in general, but the kinetic energy in CTMQC shows some instabilities that are somehow reduced by the energy-conserving correction of CTMQC-E. The hydrogen dissociation probability at long times is overestimated by all coupled-trajectory methods, but this is not surprising since the populations of the electronic states with dissociative character, namely S 0 and S 1 , is not in perfect agreement with exact calculations.
