Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics summer school

Summer school at Los Alamos National Laboratory, June-July 1993. Organized by Lee A. Collins and Michael Zeilik. The program consisted of a combination of courses in different areas of Physics (atomic, molecular and optical) with emphasis on numerical methods. The final project involved the study of light wave-packets scattering. The main goal of this project was to gain expertise in solving certain classes of partial differential equations and in particular the time dependent Schrödinger equation with arbitrary scattering potentials. The project focused on using split-operator numerical methods of the Crank-Nicholson algorithm implemented on a Cray supercomputer.
