Elke Fasshauer
Elke Fasshauer is a junior research group leader at the University of Tübingen. Her primary research interests lie in the fascinating field of light-matter interaction and quantum dynamics. With a specific focus on understanding energy and electron transfer processes in the atto- and femtosecond time-regime, she delves into the fundamental principles governing the behavior of matter at the quantum level. Additionally, she is a developer of the MCTDH-X program, which solves the time-dependent many-body Schrödinger equation for indistinguishable particles, and the relativistic quantum chemistry package DIRAC.

Henrik R. Larsson
Henrik R. Larsson is an Assistant Professor at University of California, Merced. His research focuses on developing and utilizing tools for simulating and understanding quantum effects in molecular systems. His recent applications range from understanding entangled proton transfer motion in floppy, protonated water clusters, using strong laser fields to control the motion of electrons, to solving an almost 50 year old problem of bringing experiment and theory in agreement for a strongly correlated transition metal dimer.

Hans-Dieter Meyer
Hans-Dieter Meyer is a retired professor for Theoretical Chemistry at Heidelberg University and is one of the inventors of MCTDH. His interests include classical analogs for treating electronic transitions (mapping), classical chaos and statistical distributions of quantum levels, complex absorbing potentials (CAP), and the development and application of MCTDH. Over the last decades his focus turned more and more towards MCTDH. He also maintains the Heidelberg MCTDH software package.

Paolo Molignini
Paolo Molignini is a postdoctoral research associate at Stockholm University. His main interests are driven-dissipative many-body quantum systems, topological phases of matter, and ultracold quantum systems. He is one of the co-developers of the MCTDH-X software that solves the time-dependent many-body Schrödinger equation, and of UNIQORN, a machine-learning package used to regress many-body observables in ultracold quantum systems. He also works on open quantum systems with focus on topological states by using master equations and non-Hermitian Hamiltonians.
