Objective
This proposal entitled “Dynamics of Weakly Bound Quantum Systems” (DWBQS) describes a joint collaborative academic project and exchange scheme between researchers from Norway, Sweden and France as beneficiaries and Argentina and India as participants. The first focus of the proposed program is on the theoretical challenges regarding transfer and breakup mechanisms in excited atomic and molecular systems. We will study breakup and imaging of Rydberg atoms and molecules in laser fields and Rydberg like systems in collisions between ions. The ability to solve the time dependent Schrödinger equation in this regime results in new insights regarding novel quantum processes involving entangled particles. For interpretation of present and future experiments the need for parallel theory development cannot be overestimated.
A second focus will be to develop new understanding for the atomic structure problem in Super Heavy Elements (SHE) based on experience of many body physics in systems like large clusters and quantum dots. The DWBQS group with its new collaborative constellation of theorists and experimentalists, atomic and nuclear physicists, has a background which is well suited to secure the achievement of the proposed goals.
