Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Theory Lab

AboutAbout the lab

Solving the motion of atoms and molecules with numerical computation.

The Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Theory Lab studies how atoms and molecules move and how they interact with electromagnetic fields, aiming to understand and control them through large-scale numerical computation.
In particular, the lab solves the time-dependent Schrödinger equation using direct time-propagation methods.
The lab aims to elucidate nonlinear processes of atoms and molecules in intense laser fields, and the formation of exotic atoms in collisions such as those between antiprotons and atoms.
The lab also explores ways to control physical processes with external fields such as oscillating magnetic fields.
