Strong field processes in the non-relativistic regime are insensitive to the electron spin, i.e. the observables appear to be independent of this electron property. This does not have to be the case for several active electrons where Pauli…

Potential energy surfaces of electron dynamics (ePES) are constructed from a model of localized electron wave packets (eWP) with non-orthogonal valence-bond (VB) spin coupling and applied to quantum dynamics simulations of high harmonic…
