Our speaker is Professor Graham Worth (UCL) and he will talk about Simulating Photo-Excited Processes using Grids and Gaussian Wavepackets\n\nRegistration is free at\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_NZHnO6i7Sb2IJYLA6z9V9g\n\nAlternatively you can watch the live-streaming on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@QuantumBattles\n(The live chat is open for subscribers)\n\nBelow you will find an abstract and a brief bio of the speaker.\n----\nTitle: Simulating Photo-Excited Processes using Grids and Gaussian Wavepackets\n\nAbstract:\nSimulating the time-evolution of molecular systems after photo-excitation is\ncomplicated by the need to include a manifold of excited electronic states.\nThese states are coupled by so-called non-adiabatic coupling due to\nthe interaction of the electronic and nuclear motion which\nmakes the system highly quantum mechanical. As a result it is necessary to solve\nthe time-dependent Schroedinger Equation (TDSE) for reliable results.\nTo solve the TDSE\, however\, is a hard computational problem due to the\nexponential scaling of required resources with system size. The\nmulti-configuration time-dependent Hartree (MCTDH) method provides a suitable\nalgorithm that efficiently contracts the wavefunction to make it manageable\nfor many degrees of freedom [1]. Such simulations can provide a full description\nof the evolving system\, and it is possible to include the excitation by light\npulses to obtain a spectroscopic signal that can be directly compared to\nexperiments\, such as REMPI spectra [2]. It is also possible to study the\ncoherences induced in a system by a set of pulses [3]. These simulations\,\nhowever\, are constrained by the need for an analytic Hamiltonian\, which is\nusually unable to describe long-range motions. For this\, methods such as\nthe direct dynamics variational multi-configuration Gaussian (DD-vMCG)\nmethod are required that calculate the potential surfaces on-the-fly and so\nallow a flexible description of the longe-time molecular response[4].\n\n[1] Beck et al Phys. Rep. (00) 324: 1\n[2] Dey et al PCCP (24) 26: 3451\n[3] Dey et al PRL (22) 129: 173203\n[4] Spinlove et al Farad. Discuss. (18) 212: 191\n\nShort Bio:\n\nGraham Worth is a Professor of Computational Chemistry at University College London.\nHe did his PhD at Oxford University developing Free Energy Perturbation simulations\nfor condensed phase thermodynamics. He then did postdoctoral work at the EMBL and\nHeidelberg University\, where he started working on the MCTDH method for the quantum\ndynamics simulations of polyatomic molecules. He is now a lead developer of the\nQuantics suite for quantum dynamics\, which includes a range of algoritjms to solve\nthe time-dependent Schroedinger Equation\, including MCTDH and Gaussian wavepacket\nmethods. His main interests are simulating non-adiabatic dynamics and photo-excited\nprocesses. Present development work focuses on generating potential surfaces on-the-fly\nusing direct dynamics.\n\nAll welcome!\n\nCarla Faria (on behalf of the Atto Fridays team) URL:https://laserlab-europe.eu/event/atto-fridays-seminar-simulating-photo-excited-processes-using-grids-and-gaussian-wavepackets/ CATEGORIES:conference calendar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20251107 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20251110 DTSTAMP:20260417T221133 CREATED:20250826T154535Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250826T154535Z UID:10000225-1762473600-1762732799@laserlab-europe.eu SUMMARY:39th University of Waterloo (Canada) Symposium on Chemical Physics DESCRIPTION: URL:https://laserlab-europe.eu/event/39th-university-of-waterloo-canada-symposium-on-chemical-physics/ LOCATION:Waterloo\, Waterloo\, Ontario\, Canada CATEGORIES:conference calendar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20251110 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20251111 DTSTAMP:20260417T221133 CREATED:20251104T110002Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251104T110002Z UID:10000259-1762732800-1762819199@laserlab-europe.eu SUMMARY:BioED webinar High Field Terahertz Pulse Generation and Applications DESCRIPTION:Dear colleagues\, \nwithin our Bioelectrodynamics webinar series\, let me invite you to a talk by Gyula Polónyi from University of Pécs\, Hungary: \n“Alternate Routes for High Field Terahertz Pulse Generation and Applications“ \non Monday\, 10th November\, 14:00 Central European Time. \nThe lecture will be available via Teams – please register for free here to obtain the meeting link. \nFeel free to spread the word further.

Lasers4EU partners are warmly invited to join the online sessions. \nA session of particular relevance for the Lasers4EU community will address data management planning using RDMO (Research Data Management Organiser). As funding agencies increasingly require Data Management Plans (DMPs) defining how data and metadata are handled during and after projects\, the HZDR instance of RDMO\, accessible via Helmholtz ID\, supports collaborative preparation of DMPs\, even with external partners. \nWithin this context\, the Lasers4EU project serves as a potential use case for tailoring generic DMP questionnaires to specific needs\, distinguishing between questions for proposing scientists\, access-providing facilities\, and repository providers. The session will therefore be of direct interest to Lasers4EU partners involved in data management\, access coordination\, and research infrastructure development. \nFor more information and the full programme\, please visit HZDR Data Management Days 2025 URL:https://laserlab-europe.eu/event/hzdr-data-management-days-2025-shaping-research-data-practices-with-lasers4eu/ CATEGORIES:laserlab-europe events,lasers4eu ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://laserlab-europe.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Logo_Lasers4EU-2024_rgb.png LOCATION: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20251116 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20251124 DTSTAMP:20260417T221133 CREATED:20250909T093207Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251013T064857Z UID:10000234-1763251200-1763942399@laserlab-europe.eu SUMMARY:17th International Conference on Physics of Advanced Materials (ICPAM-17) DESCRIPTION:The 17th International Conference on Physics of Advanced Materials (ICPAM-17) and 8th Autumn School on Physics of Advanced Materials (PAMS-8) will be held on November 16th – 23rd\, 2025\, at Shizuoka University\, Hamamatsu Campus\, Japan and online. \nThe main objective of ICPAM-17 is to provide a forum for scientists involved in physics of advanced materials\, emerging nanotechnologies\, and new devices\, to exchange their ideas\, knowledge and experience.

Here\, I will present the observation of the nonlinear optical diode effect (NODE) in the magnetic Weyl semimetal CeAlSi\, where the magnetic state of CeAlSi introduces a pronounced directionality in the nonlinear optical second-harmonic generation (SHG). By physically reversing the beam path\, we show that the measured SHG intensity can change by at least a factor of six between forward and backward propagation over a wide bandwidth exceeding 250 meV. Supported by density-functional theory calculations\, we establish the linearly dispersive bands emerging from Weyl nodes as the origin of the extreme bandwidth. By utilizing the electronically conductive semimetallic nature of CeAlSi\, we demonstrate current-induced magnetization switching and thus electrical control of the NODE in a mesoscopic spintronic device structure. Our results advance ongoing research to identify novel nonlinear optical/transport phenomena in magnetic topological materials. The NODE further opens new pathways for the unidirectional manipulation of light such as electrically controlled optical isolators [1]. \n[1] CT et al.\, Nature Communications 15\, 3017 (2024) \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Watch the Talk URL:https://laserlab-europe.eu/event/lle-talk-nonlinear-optical-diode-effect-in-a-magnetic-weyl-semimetal/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:laserlab-europe events,laserlab-europe talk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://laserlab-europe.eu/wp-content/uploads/Thumbnail_tzschaschel.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20251127 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20251129 DTSTAMP:20260417T221133 CREATED:20250902T083225Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251105T102427Z UID:10000226-1764201600-1764374399@laserlab-europe.eu SUMMARY:Meeting of the Laserlab-Europe expert group on laser-generated EMP DESCRIPTION:The Laserlab-Europe Expert Group on laser-generated electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) will be holding their regular workshop at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory this year. It will be a two day event\, featuring oral and poster presentations and ending with a round table discussion. \nIn experiments involving high power lasers\, a significant portion of the incoming laser energy is converted into transient electromagnetic pulses (EMPs)\, composed of radiation at radio\, microwave and THz frequencies. These EMP fields scale with laser energy and intensity and can easily exceed the MV/m magnitude – strong enough to disrupt or imperil electronic devices placed near the experimental vacuum chamber. \nThe physics of EMP production is closely related to many topics of active research within the laser-plasma community. At previous meetings of the Laserlab expert group we have had talks on a range of fascinating subjects\, including: the physics of target charging and fast currents\, generating strong magnetic fields with lasers\, ion acceleration and beam transport\, radiobiological studies\, terahertz radiation from solid targets\, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and techniques for reducing EMP emission. \nThe workshop will take place on 27 and 28 November 2025 in the Visitor Centre of the Rutherford Appleton laboratory. \nThe link to register for the conference is here: https://forms.office.com/e/BPpJ6Xs7Pr \nRegistration deadline: Friday\, 26 September 2025 \nIf you would prefer to submit your abstract after you have registered\, then send the abstract to philip.bradford@stfc.ac.uk before close of day on Friday 3rd October. Please indicate in your email whether you would like to be considered for an oral or poster presentation. \nThose attending in person will have to arrange their own accommodation.
