Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Description Here we develop a number of new computational methods to treat the dynamics of quantum systems, such as atoms acted on with strong laser pulses.
Exploitation Route Many experimental and theoretical groups use strong laser pulses to study the structure and dynamics of atoms and molecules. Our new methods can be used to understand experiments and to benchmark theories.

Description We have developed several new approaches to computations and quantum dynamics and have shown that they can be applied to simulation of quantum processes in laser field. The results are of the academic nature but in future can be used in more applied projects. The methods developed within this project were implemented in Stanford AIMS software package and used to simulate ultrafast photochemistry, aiming at understanding of how biomolecules can be damaged by UV light. In 2020 computational methods developed in this project have been also implemented in the Los Alamos NEXMD software package, which is used in material science to look at energy transfer in conjugated molecules important in light harvesting.
