Computational Strong-Field Quantum Dynamics: Intense Light-Matter Interactions

by Dieter Bauer (Editor), Heiko Bauke (Contribution by), Thomas Brabec (Contribution by), Thomas Fennel (Contribution by), Chris R. McDonald (Contribution by)

Overview

This graduate textbook introduces the com-putational techniques to study ultra-fast quantum dynamics of matter exposed to strong laser fields. Coverage includes methods to propagate wavefunctions according to the time dependent Schrödinger, Klein-Gordon or Dirac equation, the calculation of typical observables, time-dependent density functional theory, multi configurational time-dependent Hartree-Fock, time-dependent configuration interaction singles, the strong-field approximation, and the microscopic particle-in-cell approach.
