In this paper, we report simulations of laser-driven many-electron dynamics by means of the time-dependent configuration interaction singles (TD-CIS) approach. Photoionization is included by a heuristic model within calculations employing standard Gaussian basis sets. Benzo[g]-N-methyl-quinolinium-7-hydroxylate (BMQ7H) serves as a test system to generate predefined wave packets, i.e. a superposition between the ground and fifth excited state, in a large molecule. For this molecule, these two states have a very similar geometry, which enables us to use the fixed nuclei approximation. Furthermore, this geometric stability would also prevent a dephasing of the electron wave packet due to nuclear dynamics in an experimental realization of our simulations. We also simulate the possible detection of such a wave packet by ultra short probe laser pulses, i.e. pump-probe spectra.
