I am currently using surface hopping method to study electronic transitions involving 2 states. Please let me know what are the other techniques used to study such systems with more accuracy.
Here is an overview you might find useful: http://homepage.univie.ac.at/mario.barbatti/papers/review/worth_ann_rev_phs_chem_55_127_2004.pdf
And in this paper you can find an example on the quality of the surface hopping in comparison to more precise methods: http://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/jcp/138/9/10.1063/1.4793274
