Users' guide for the Matlab version of WavePacket

Wavepacket comes with a lot of ready-built demo examples from which you can study the basics of how to set up a calculation, partly also available at our WavePacket YouTube channel. This manual is not meant as a comprehensive documentation explaining all of WavePacket from the bottom up, but mainly focuses on specific topics in its usage that deserve some words on their own. A thorough description of the Matlab version of WavePacket can be also found in our manuscript at arXiv.

• Basics: Explains how to set up and run a calculation, and the basics of the code flow.

• Grids: How grids are set up and work in WavePacket, and which data is stored in grid form.

• Interpolation: The structure of files from which data is interpolated.

• Saving & Loading: How wave functions can be saved and/or loaded.

• Truncation: Details the various methods of truncating a Hamiltonian.

• E-Fields: Some details on the setup of electric fields and dipole operators (RWA, Floquet theory etc.)

• Graphics: About different graphical representations (and movies!) of WavePacket dynamics

And finally also a few words about our favorite programming environment
