  Computational methods are indispensable to study the quantum dynamics of
relativistic light-matter interactions in parameter regimes where analytical
methods become inapplicable. We present numerical methods for solving the
time-dependent Dirac equation and the time-dependent Klein-Gordon equation and
their implementation on high performance graphics cards. These methods allow us
to study tunneling from hydrogen-like highly charged ions in strong laser
fields and Kapitza-Dirac scattering in the relativistic regime.
