Textbook in PDF format Computing Atomic Quantum Dynamics in Laser Fields introduces theory in tandem with practical methods to calculate end numbers—teaching typically separate subjects together. The topics covered are at the core of several contemporary areas of theoretical atomic, molecular, and optical physics (AMO) including ultrashort laser fields, quantum dynamics and control, quantum imaging, and computational physics. High performance algorithms, numerical analysis, and differential and matrix calculus are presented in the context of the theory of laser atom dynamics. Computing Atomic Quantum Dynamics in Laser Fields: Combines practical numerical methods in computing atomic processes in ultrashort laser fields in a systematic and coherent manner Shortens learning time for mastering computational techniques in atomic, molecular, and optical research Presents theoretical formulations in a manner that fits naturally with the discrete nature of computational algorithms Post-graduate students and practitioners in the field of AMO and computational physics will find this an invaluable resource
