High harmonic generation (HHG) is a highly nonlinear emission process in which systems driven by intense laser pulses emit integer multiples (harmonics) of the driving field. This feature is considered universal to all occurrences of HHG.…

We develop a numerical scheme to investigate the high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in intense laser-matter interactions. Tracing the time evolution of every electronic laser-field-free state, we "observe" the HHG in a time-integrated…
