Atoms and molecules in intense attosecond fields: beyond the dipole approximation

The exact non-dipole minimal-coupling Hamiltonian for an atomic system interacting with an explicitly time- and space-dependent laser field is transformed into the rest frame of a classical free electron in the laser field, i.e., into the Kramers-Henneberger frame. The new form of the Hamiltonian has been used to study the non-dipole dynamics of atoms and molecules in intense XUV laser pulses. The time-dependent Schroedinger equation is solved without any simplifications
