Laser-driven molecular quantum dynamics

Recent advances in ultrashort laser technology allow us to probe and potentially control molecules and chemical reactions at the level of electrons.

Simulations, which are mandatory to design, interpret, and predict experiments, are immensely challenging due to high ionization probability, breakdown of the Born-
Oppenheimer approximation, and strong dependence on laser pulse parameters. We develop novel approaches to quantum dynamics simulations that address all these challenges, including electronic and fully coupled electronic-nuclear wave functions.
