We compute ultrafast transient absorption spectra of MoS2 monolayers by employing a novel approach which combines density-functional and non-equilibrium Green's function theories. This approach allows the description of pump-probe optical experiments where the system is excited by an ultrashort laser pulse, and the variation of the optical response is probed at different time delays, thus providing a wealth of information on the fundamental physics of the relaxation processes. The case of monolayer MoS2 is extremely challenging due to the interplay of excitonic, electron-phonon and spin-orbit coupling effects. We describe the excitation of the MoS2 electronic system and follow the subsequent dynamics using a fully non-collinear spin formulation of the theory, including excitonic effects. The results are compared with experimental pump-probe data.
