Numerical Methods for the Maxwell-Liouville-von Neumann (MLN) Equations

In this contribution we evaluate the performance of three numerical methods to solve the Maxwell-Liouville-von Neumann equations (a generalization of the Maxwell-Bloch equations). First, we verify that our implementations of the methods (using the OpenMP standard for parallelization) exhibit good performance scalability. Then, we compare the absolute performance values of the methods and discuss their advantages and drawbacks.
