• Abstract: We extend our recently developed semiclassical strong-field Herman-Kluk propagator (SFHK) method to calculate high-order harmonic generation (HHG) for atoms in intense lasers. We show that our method, based on a combination of the Herman-Kluk propagator and the strong-field approximation, can provide highly accurate results for both HHG yield and phase, nearly identical to those from the exact numerical solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. We provide detailed analyses of our method and its applications to the HHG process, particularly the recombination time. The main computational task in this method is to solve the classical Newton equations for the active electron in the combined atomic potential and laser-electron interaction. The motion of the centers of the electron wave packets, modeled by coherent states, is governed by independent classical trajectories so that the computation can therefore be parallelized very efficiently.

  The generalized quantum master equation (GQME) expresses correlation functions in terms of a non-Markovian equation of motion. We study the approximate solution of the GQME, obtained by calculating the kernels with two methods, namely Ehrenfest mean-field theory and spin mapping. We find that the accuracy of the predictions of the GQME depends strongly on the specific technique used to calculate the kernels.
