Quantum dynamics in Atomic Molecular and Optical Physics

CCPQ是一个协作计算项目，服务于英国原子和分子物理社区在前沿软件开发方面的需求，特别是在其五个主要感兴趣的领域：碰撞物理、反物质物理、多光子物理、冷原子物理和分子物理。这一合作的前身是CCP2，自1978年以来一直存在，但一直在不断发展和适应新的问题。2004年成立了一家名为“Quantemol”的衍生公司，以销售其部分电子碰撞软件。该软件将用于生成新数据，用于模拟工业等离子体或研究电子对生物分子的损伤，包括PET扫描中的正电子湮灭过程。为寻找系外行星提供分子线数据的软件开发也将进行。拟议的旗舰项目“对许多身体系统的连贯控制”是一项全新的倡议。它将把英国最新的前沿发展与一个知名的、备受尊敬的开源国际项目结合起来。它将开发新的软件来解决以前棘手的问题，从而使英国研究人员能够第一次准确地调查包括超冷原子物理、量子信息和驱动凝聚态系统在内的一系列子领域中强相关量子系统的时间演化。中心将积极举办会议和讲习班，以促进合作和培训研究人员，以解决计算原子和分子物理学以及高性能计算方面的新问题。除了新计划和旗舰软件开发外，该合作将维持一个持续的维护、管理和升级其现有软件套件的计划。它的活动还将支持由以前的软件调用资助的两个项目，特别是“英国r矩阵原子和分子物理HPC代码开发项目”（UK- ramp）以及“未来的Wavepacket动力学：通用HPC兼容程序”项目。

CCPQ is a collaborative computational project which serves the needs of the UK Atomic and Molecular physics community in respect of leading edge software development, especially in its five principal areas of interest: collision physics, antimatter physics, multiphoton physics, cold atom physics and molecular physics. Formerly known as CCP2, this collaboration has existed continuously since 1978, but has been constantly evolving and adapting to address new problems. A spin-off company "Quantemol" was formed in 2004 to market some of its electron-collision software. The software will be applied to generate new data for applications like the simulation of industrial plasmas or to investigate electron-induced damage to biological molecules, including positron annihilation processes in PET scans. Software developments to provide molecular line data for the search for exoplanets will also be undertaken.The proposed flagship project, "Coherent control of many body systems", represents a completely new initiative. It will combine recent cutting edge developments in the UK with a well-known and well-respected open-source international project. It will develop new software to tackle previously intractable problems, hence enabling UK researchers to investigate accurately, for the first time, the time-evolution of strongly correlated quantum systems in a range of subfields encompassing ultracold atom physics, quantum information and driven condensed matter systems. CCPQ will run an active programme of meetings and workshops with a view to stimulating collaboration and training researchers to address new problems in computational atomic and molecular physics, as well as High Performance Computing. As well as new initiatives and flagship software development, the collaboration will maintain an ongoing programme of maintenance, curation and upgrading of its existing software suite. Its activities will also support two projects funded by previous software calls in particular the "UK R-matrix Atomic and Molecular Physics HPC Code Development Project" (UK-RAMP) as well as the "Wavepacket dynamics for the future: A general purpose HPC-compliant program" project.
