Optimal control theory, ultrafast dynamics

Analysis and control of ultrafast processes in atomic clusters in the size regime in which each atom counts are of particular importance from a conceptual point of view and for opening new perspectives for many applications in the future. Simultaneously, this research area calls for the challenging development of theoretical and computational methods from different directions, including quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics, and optimal control theory, removing borders between them. Moreover, it provides stimulation for new experiments.
