“New Computational Methods for Attosecond Molecular Processes” Training School
We are pleased to announce the COST/ZCAM school on “New Computational Methods for Attosecond Molecular Processes” that will take place in Zaragoza, Spain, from June 1st to June 5th 2026
Registration deadline: April 1st 2026.
The event is free of charge.
The school is directed to advanced PhD students and post-doctoral researchers in theoretical atomic and molecular physics, theoretical chemistry, quantum optics and applied mathematics, with an interest in using and developing new computational tools for the description of attosecond electron dynamics in systems of chemical interest.
The purpose of this school is to introduce state-of-the-art ab-initio and hybrid numerical methods that can cope with ultra-fast dynamics in the electronic continuum of molecules, with an emphasis on unbound states in strong and weak fields, and on the need to go beyond single-active-electron models to properly account for electron correlation. The school will be organized in 5 theoretical sessions and 5 practical sessions in the computer lab.
The speakers participating in this training will be: Stefanos Carlstrom (Max Born Institute -MBI, Berlin), Jesús González-Vázquez (Autonomous University of Madrid-UAM), Jimena Gorfinkiel (Open University, UK), Mikhail Ivanov (MBI, Berlin), Fernando Martín (UAM), Zdenek Masin (Cuni, CZ), Felipe Morales (MBI, Berlin), Serguei Patchkovskii (MBI, Berlin), Laura Rego (ICMM, Madrid), Armin Scrinzi (Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich), and Olga Smirnova (MBI, Berlin).
The detailed program will be announced in due time.
Organizers:
Fernando Martín (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid)
Laura Rego (ICMM-CSIC)
Cristian Svetina (IMDEA Nanociencia)
Caterina Vozzi (Consiglio Nazionale Delle Ricerche)
Giulia Fulvia Mancini (EPFL)
This school is co-organized by the COST Action CA22148 NEXT (https://ca-next.eu/), GELUR and ZCAM, at ZCAM premises. The school is supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) and ZCAM.
