Real-time Quantum Dynamics in Photo-Stimulated Processes:
Experiment and Theory
Advances of time-resolved experimental techniques, needed for a detailed understanding of charge carrier dynamics as they occur in real time at simultaneously high spatial resolution, require matching progress in theoretical approaches. Applications to novel, emerging nanoscale materials, which ultimately lead to faster, more efficient and miniaturized devices, pose multiple theoretical challenges. Modeling high fidelity time-resolved experimental data becomes a major goal of a theoretical community.
Computational materials sciences are outstanding growth areas of research. In the future, an increasingly larger part of our technological development will depend on computer applications, in particular in materials, nano and bio-nano sciences. Ab initio calculations based on the density functional theory, in combination with the time-dependant extensions, can facilitate considerable progress in the field. Such calculations can guide design of a variety of materials, for instance for solar energy applications, photo-catalytic reactions and lighting. Such guidance requires that the non-equilibrium processes involved in the photo-induced charge separation and transport demand explicit time domain modelling, in direct comparison with advanced time-resolved experimental techniques.
This workshop is envisioned to become a forum to brainstorm ideas about solutions to important computational problems, and to identify new directions for time-dependent electronic structure method development and challenging applications. We aim to bring together researchers from experiment and theory working on time-dependent charge carrier dynamics to highlight recent progress and to discuss challenges and opportunities in the materials aspect for highly efficient energy applications. This would provide opportunity to form new worldwide interdisciplinary collaborations on time-dependent spectroscopy for the mutual benefit of theoretical, experimental and applied researchers. In this way, we hope to create an exchange mechanism to unite a core of developers in an interactive environment, in order to initiate design of a new generation software tools for modelling of realistic complex systems and nanostructures in electronic ground and excited states. The delivery of this technology to a broad community would facilitate breakthroughs on high-impact materials science problems.
