Abstract:
The multiconfiguration time-dependent Hartree (MCTDH) method is combined with the optimal control theory (OCT) to study femtosecond laser pulse control of multidimensional vibrational dynamics. Simulations are presented for the widely discussed three-electronic-level vibronic coupling model of pyrazine either in a three or four vibrational coordinate version. Thus, for the first time OCT is applied to a four-coordinate system. Different control tasks are investigated and also some general aspects of the OCT-MCTDH method combination are analyzed.
