The Classical Separable Potential (CSP) method, which is a mean-field approximation to multidimensional quantum dynamics, is applied to the dephasing process of a vibrationally excited HArF molecule in an argon cluster at low temperatures. Dephasing timescales of the order of 1 ps are estimated for dynamics following fundamental excitation of either the H--Ar or the Ar--F stretching mode of HArF. The CSP approach is valid over such timescales, and it is thus a viable approach to quantum simulations of dephasing at low temperatures.
