Theory of Quantum Dynamics and Ultrafast Optical Probes of Correlated Systems

Investigate complex physical behaviors in systems, including strongly correlated materials, plasmonic response and wave propagation in 2D materials, nano-wires and carbon nanotubes, resonances in metamaterials, and other nano-structured materials and functional photonic devices

Perform theoretical simulations of quasiparticle and order parameter dynamics of strongly correlated quantum systems coupled to ultrafast laser pulse field, including simulations of time-resolved optical conductivity, time-resolved angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, and high-harmonic generation.

Capabilities include:

Time-dependent Bogoliubov-de Gennes theory.
Time-dependent mean-field theory.
Time-dependent density-matrix renormalization group theory.
Real-time time-dependent density functional theory.
