Technical review: Time-dependent density functional theory for attosecond physics ranging from gas-phase to solids

A recent review examines the application of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) within the field of attosecond physics. This theoretical framework is being explored for its utility across a spectrum of physical systems, from individual gas-phase atoms and molecules to more complex solid-state materials. The review delves into how TDDFT can model and predict the ultrafast dynamics characteristic of phenomena studied in attosecond science.

Understanding the behavior of matter on attosecond timescales is crucial for developing advanced technologies in fields like materials science and ultrafast spectroscopy.
