Progress in laser chemistry

The most powerful driving force to demand for the advancement of the dynamical theory of electronic states comes from the progress being made 

However, to achieve further progress, more general ab initio methods need to be developed for the treatment of multi-electronic and polyatomic molecules. 

2 Modulating electronic states and control of chemical reactions 

Similarly, intense lasers make it possible to study the early stages in the multiphoton ionization of molecules through multiply excited states. Above-threshold ionization gives rise to a quasi-free electronic wavepacket state, and the recombination (collision) of such an electronic wavepacket with the remaining cation species results in the high harmonic
