Tsuyoshi Kato

Tsuyoshi Kato is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at The University of Tokyo. His research focuses on density functional theory and computational schemes for quantum dynamics of molecular processes, including intense field science. He develops and applies exact density functional theory and multiconfiguration time-dependent Hartree-Fock methods. His work addresses quantum molecular dynamics, electron-nuclear correlation, and time-dependent multi-configurational wave functions. Kato is affiliated with the Graduate School of Science and the Department of Chemistry (UG) and (GR).

Tsuyoshi Kato is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at The University of Tokyo, specializing in Molecular Quantum Dynamics, Exact Density Functional Theory, and Effective Potential Theory. His research focuses on the electronic and nuclear dynamics of molecules in intense laser fields, employing quantum mechanical wave packet approaches and time-dependent multiconfiguration theories. He also investigates vibrational spectroscopy, molecular alignment, and non-Born–Oppenheimer effects in diatomic-like molecules. His work explores the interaction between molecules and laser fields, including ionization mechanisms and high-harmonic generation. Additionally, he studies the theoretical aspects of molecular systems under extreme conditions, such as intense laser pulses and nonlinear coupling with heat baths.
