Cook the Universe.

If you want to cook the universe, you will need some Good Recipe, This one is from Frank Wilczek the Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics at MIT. He talks about a nice program called Atom in a box.

The next few weeks i wil be very busy preparing mi final disseration for my thesis, i will finish writing the thesis while writing proposals for the postdoc.

Right now i am doing a 3D code of Helium interacting with s trong laser field. The nice thing is that we preserve the complete correlation of the 2 electrons, the bad thing is that it is not fully tridimensional. I am preparing movies of the evolution with a very short pulse.

I am facing two major inconvients, It is known that all the information regarding one system is the wavefunction, so the tale says that if you have it, then you know everything, but it is not true. We are trained into the projection over eigenstates, and therefore the complete wavefunction as is, whitout of the knowledge of the eigenstates of the systems is hard to interpret.

On the other hand. two and three electron wavefunctions are hard to interpret even for the eigenstates, and this gets more complicated in a non perturbative time dependent problem. Furthermore, the eigenstates are unknown and there is degeneration so the difficulty grows.

So the wavefunction is essentialm but does not say much on its own.
