We present a numerical implementation of the time-dependent surface flux (tSURFF) method [L. Tao and A. Scrinzi, New J. Phys. 14, 013021 (2012).NJOPFM1367-263010.1088/1367-2630/14/1/013021], an efficient computational scheme to extract photoelectron energy spectra, to the time-dependent multiconfiguration self-consistent-field (TD-MCSCF) method. Extending the original tSURFF method developed for single-particle systems, we formulate the equations of motion for the spectral amplitude of orbital functions constituting the TD-MCSCF wave function, from which the angle-resolved photoelectron energy spectrum, and more generally, photoelectron reduced density matrices (RDMs) are readily obtained. The tSURFF method applied to the TD-MCSCF wave function, in combination with an efficient absorbing boundary offered by the infinite-range exterior complex scaling, enables accurateab initiocomputations of photoelectron energy spectra from multielectron systems subject to an intense and ultrashort laser pulse with a computational cost significantly reduced compared to that required in projecting the total wave function onto scattering states. We apply the present implementation to the photoionization of Ne exposed to an attosecond extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) pulse and above-threshold ionization of Ar irradiated by an intense mid-infrared laser field, demonstrating both accuracy and efficiency of the present method.
