Recently, there have been proposals to use ultrashort intense laser pulses for the time-resolved imaging of molecular orbitals by measuring, e.g., the emitted high-harmonic radiation or electrons. One future goal would be to watch chemical reactions in real time. In this talk I present our recent approaches to theoretically describe the response of molecules to ultrashort intense laser pulses and the consequences for imaging schemes.
