This graduate textbook introduces the com-putational techniques to study ultra-fast quantum dynamics of matter exposed to strong laser fields. Coverage includes methods to propagate wavefunctions according to the time dependent Schrödinger, Klein-Gordon or Dirac equation, the calculation of typical observables, time-dependent density functional theory, multi configurational time-dependent Hartree-Fock, time-dependent configuration interaction singles, the strong-field approximation, and the microscopic particle-in-cell approach. Contents How to propagate a wavefunction? Calculation of typical strong-field observables Time-dependent relativistic wave equations: Numerics of the Dirac and the Klein-Gordon equation Time-dependent density functional theory The multiconfiguration time-dependent Hartree-Fock method Time-dependent configuration interaction singles Strong-field approximation and quantum orbits Microscopic particle-in-cell approach

High-power lasers have opened new fields of application, the most prominent of which are probably controlled thermonuclear fusion and X-ray lasers. Because of its systematic, thorough, and self-contained presentation this book is a suitable introduction for the novice. Since it provides at the same time a comprehensive review of the progress made in the last 25 years, it may serve as well as a shelf reference for the specialist. The emphasis is on the physics of the processes observed in high-power laser-matter interaction and its exact theoretical description. Keywords are: laser generated plasma, plasma dynamics, nonlinear waves, wave-particle interaction, transport phenomena, nonlinear dynamics, radiation.
