An hydrogen atom subjected to a strong and short alectromagnetic pulse: on the left the density, on the right the photoelectron spectrum (both above and below threshold) as a function of theta (x axis) and energy (y axis): peaks corresponding to the absorption of up to five photons can be seen. In the end, the wavefunction enter the region of an absorbing potential and it is steadily "eaten up". The wriggles at the end of the simulation are due to partial reflection on the absorbing boundary.
this explains the mushroom clouds upon an atom bomb xD
