T-4 is the atomic and optical theory group in the
Theoretical Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory. T-4 staff
members and postdocs develop methods for and perform calculations of
atomic structure, scattering cross sections, opacities, exotic atoms,
and quantum optics, including effects of high energy density
environments and interaction with external fields. Current efforts
include the evaluation of opacities for a wide range of physical
conditions, nonequilibrium plasma kinetics and spectroscopy, quantum
molecular dynamics simulations, strong-field ionization and scattering,
decoherence and chaos, quantum computing, and Bose-Einstein condensates
/ degenerate fermion gases. The Group provides interactive web sites
for user calculations of opacities of mixtures and for calculations of
atomic structure and cross sections. It also sponsors the Los Alamos
Summer School for undergraduate students in physics.
