DESCRIPTION:Prof. Angel RubioNanoBio Spectroscopy Group and ETSF Universid
 ad del País Vasco UPV/EHU\, Donostia\, Spain\n&\nFritz-Haber-Institut Max
 -Planck-Gesellschaft\, Berlin\, Germany\nIn this talk we will review the r
 ecent advances within density-functional and many-body based schemes to de
 scribe spectroscopic properties of complex systems with special emphasis t
 o modelling  time and spatially resolved electron spectroscopies (includi
 ng transient pump-probe techniques).   Pros and cons of present function
 als will be highlighted and provide insight in how to overcome those limit
 ations by merging concepts from many-body perturbation theory and time-dep
 endent density functional theory.  We will discuss some of the theoretica
 l approaches developed in the group (and under development)  for  the ch
 aracterisation of matter out of equilibrium\, the control material process
 es at the electronic level and tailor material properties\, and  master e
 nergy and information on the nanoscale to propose new devices with capabil
 ities. We will focus on examples  linked to the efficient conversion of l
 ight into electricity or chemical fuels ("artificial photosynthesis") and 
 the design on new nanostructured based optoelectronic devices based on ino
 rganic nanotubes\, among others.  The goal of the group activities in the
  long-run is to provide a detailed\, efficient\, and at the same time accu
 rate microscopic approach for the ab-initio description and control of the
  dynamics of decoherence and dissipation in quantum many-body systems. Wit
 h  the help of quantum optimal control (QOC) theory and the mastery over 
 spectroscopy we could  direct the movement of electrons\, selectively tri
 gger chemical reactions and processes\, and create new materials
