As theoretical AMO physicists, we are interested in the physics of electronic, atomic, and molecular scattering processes in neutral as well as in laser-assisted environments. We use a range of computational approaches from solving time-independent Schrödinger equation to solving classical Hamiltonians to obtain analytical or numerical solutions.
