The accurate description of the nonequilibrium dynamics of correlated electrons in atoms under laser excitation remains a key topic in many fields. Among others, the nonequilibrium Green functions (NEGF) method has proven to be a powerful tool to capture electron-electron correlations [1]. However, NEGF simulations are computationally expensive due to their T3 scaling with the simulation duration T. With the introduction of the generalized Kadanoff-Baym ansatz [2], T2 scaling could be achieved for second order Born (SOA) selfenergies [3], which has substantially extended the scope of NEGF simulations. Recently [4], we could achieve linear scaling within SOA and even the GW and dynamically screened ladder approximations which is a breakthrough for simulating the correlated electron dynamics. After demonstrating the linear scaling behavior we will discuss prospects for simulating the laser ionization dynamics in atoms [5].
