What Does ATDHF Stand For?

ATDHF stands for Adiabatic Time Dependent Hartree Fock

ATDHF, or Adiabatic Time Dependent Hartree Fock, is a theoretical framework used in quantum chemistry and physics to describe the dynamic evolution of many-body systems. It extends the traditional Hartree Fock method by incorporating time-dependent potentials, allowing for the study of electronic structure changes in response to external perturbations. The adiabatic approach assumes that the system evolves slowly enough for it to remain in a close-to-equilibrium state, making ATDHF particularly useful for analyzing the time-dependent behavior of molecular systems and excitations within them. This method is significant for applications in ultrafast phenomena and quantum dynamics.
