Abstract:
Population dynamics of highly excited states of a hydrogen atom under the action of an ultra-short intense laser pulse is studied by means of direct numerical solution of Schredinger equation in the finite basis of eigenstates of the discrete and continuous energy ¨ spectrum. The essential role of continuous spectrum states is demonstrated. Formation of localized wave packets of Rydberg states is discussed.
