报告摘要:

Advances in ultrashort intense laser techniques have paved the way to investigate strong-field and attosecond physics. In particular, high-harmonic generation (HHG) from gas-phase atoms and molecules has led to successful applications such as attosecond pulse generation and coherent keV x-ray sources as well as powerful means to observe and manipulate ultrafast electron dynamics. Moreover, Solid-state materials have recently emerged as a new stage of strong-field and attosecond physics. For further advance in attosecond laser technology, it is essential to develop first-principles numerical approaches for many-electron dynamics.

We have recently developed and implemented various ab initio time-dependent methods including the time-dependent complete-active-space self-consistent field (TD-CASSCF) method [1, 2], the time-dependent occupation restricted multiple active space (TD-ORMAS) method [3], the gauge-invariant time-dependent configuration interaction singles (TD-CIS) [4] method, and the time-dependent optimized coupled-cluster (TD-OCC) method [5]. Further stepping forward, we have recently formulated the fully general time-dependent multiconfiguration self-consistent-field method to describe the dynamics of a system consisting of arbitrary different kinds and numbers of interacting fermions and bosons [6].

We have also been actively developing various theoretical methods to simulate HHG in solids. As a first step, we numerically solve the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, within independent-electron approximation. Based on the results, we propose a solid-state and momentum-space counterpart of the familiar three-step model [7]. Furthermore, using the time-dependent Hartree-Fock simulations, we have revealed the electron-hole interaction effects [8]. Our studies provide a unified basis to understand HHG from solid-state materials and gaseous media.
