Numerical time-dependent quantum dynamics at relativistic laser intensities — •Heiko Bauke, Matthias Ruf, Frederick Blumenthal, and Christoph H. Keitel — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Saupfercheckweg 1, 69117 Heidelberg

The quantum dynamics of high intensity laser-matter interactions necessitate a relativistic treatment. The derivation of analytical solutions of the Dirac equation or the Klein-Gordon equation, however, is possible for very few highly symmetric systems only. Many setups of ultra-short laser matter interactions at relativistic intensities require numerical approaches. In this contribution, we survey the challenges of numerical time-dependent relativistic quantum dynamics and present approaches to master these challenges by smart numerical algorithms [1, 2], high-performance implementations on parallel architectures [1, 3] and casting a quantum system’s mathematical description by physical insights into a form that is beneficial for numerical methods [4]. Some applications of numerical relativistic time-dependent quantum dynamics will be highlighted.
