We describe a numerical method that simulates the interaction of the helium atom with sequences of femtosecond and attosecond light pulses. The method, which is based on the close-coupling expansion of the electronic configuration space in a B-spline bipolar spherical harmonic basis, can accurately reproduce the excitation and single ionization of the atom, within the electrostatic approximation. The time dependent Schrodinger equation is integrated with a sequence of second-order split-exponential unitary propagators. The asymptotic channel-, energy- and angularly-resolved photoelectron distributions are computed by projecting the wavepacket at the end of the simulation on the multichannel scattering states of the atom, which are separately computed within the same close-coupling basis. This method is applied to simulate the pump-probe ionization of helium in the vicinity of the $2s/2p$ excitation threshold of the He$^+$ ion. This work confirms the qualitative conclusions of one of our earliest publications [L Argenti and E Lindroth, Phys. Rev. Lett. {bf 105}, 53002 (2010)], in which we demonstrated the control of the $2s/2p$ ionization branching-ratio. Here, we take those calculations to convergence and show how correlation brings the periodic modulation of the branching ratios in almost phase opposition. The residual total ionization probability to the $2s+2p$ channels is dominated by the beating between the $sp_{2,3}^+$ and the $sp_{2,4}^+$ doubly excited states, which is consistent with the modulation of the complementary signal in the $1s$ channel, measured in 2010 by Chang and co-workers~[S Gilbertson~emph{et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {bf 105}, 263003 (2010)].
We show that the correlation dynamics in coherently excited doubly excited resonances of helium can be followed in real time by two-photon interferometry. This approach promises to map the evolution of the two-electron wave packet onto experimentally
The evolution of electron wavepackets determines the course of many physical and chemical phenomena and attosecond spectroscopy aims to measure and control such dynamics in real-time. Here, we investigate radial electron wavepacket motion in Helium b
Photoelectron emission from excited states of laser-dressed atomic helium is analyzed with respect to laser intensity-dependent excitation energy shifts and angular distributions. In the two-color XUV (exteme ultra-violet) -- IR (infrared) measuremen
We describe numerically the ionization process induced by linearly and circularly polarized XUV attosecond laser pulses on an aligned atomic target, specifically, the excited state Ne$^*(1s^22s^22p^5[{}^2text{P}^text{o}_{1/2}]3s[^1text{P}^o])$. We co
In this work, we study the quantum entanglement for doubly excited resonance states in helium by using highly correlated Hylleraas type functions to represent such states of the two-electron system. The doubly-excited resonance states are determined
