Prof. Moiseyev’s Most Important Contributions to Science:
- Developed with graduate students, post doctoral fellows & colleagues the theory of Non-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics (NHQM) which enables calculations of resonance energies and lifetimes by standard numerical algorithms originally developed for calculating bound states.

- Developed with graduate students the Non-Hermitian Scattering Theory for calculating cross-sections for scattering of atoms / molecules from solid surfaces. Link to research on Applications Of NHQM To Surface Sciences
- Developed together with Idan Haritan, a graduate student, and with Arik Landau, a senior research associate, the theory of non-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics (NHQM) which enables calculations of resonance energies and lifetimes from standard – Hermitian quantum chemistry packages. Link to research on Applications of NHQM to study atomic & molecular autoionization
- Developed with Uri Peskin, a graduate student, the (t,t’) method and the Non-Hermitian Time-Independent Scattering theory for time-dependent systems that enables the calculation of above threshold ionization/dissociation and high-order harmonic generation cross-sections. Link to Applications of NHQM to study above threshold ionization (ATI)
