      abstract     = {Despite intense research, the properties of strongly
                      coupled Coulomb systems have not yet been completely
                      understood. However, with the advent of Free Electron Lasers
                      with wavelengths reaching down to tenths of nanometers and
                      intensities beyond 10$^{16 W}$/cm$^{−2}$ during the last
                      years, it has become possible to experimentally probe the
                      warm dense matter regime up to solid densities. Now, systems
                      that can be studied are reaching from hot, low-density
                      plasmas of fusion research to cold dense solids that are
                      dominated by quantum-mechanical effects and strong
                      correlations. Their consistent theoretical description
                      requires a multitude of effects to be considered. In
                      particular, strong correlations pose significant
                      difficulties here. Computer simulations provide a tool for
                      bridging between experiments and theory as they do not
                      suffer from these complications. The experimentally
                      accessible optical and transport properties in plasmas are
                      primarily featured by the electronic subsystem, such as its
                      collective behavior and interaction with the ionic
                      background, i. e. Coulomb collisions. In this work the
                      collisional behavior of warm dense bulk matter and
                      collective effects in nano plasmas are investigated by means
                      of molecular dynamics simulations. To this end, simulation
                      experiments performed earlier on electronic resonances in
                      metallic nano clusters are extended to significantly larger
                      systems. The observed complex resonance structure is
                      analyzed using a newly introduced spatially resolved
                      spectral diagnostic. As a second field of study, the bulk
                      collision frequency as the key parameter for optical and
                      transport properties in warm dense matter is evaluated in a
                      generalized Drude approach for a hydrogen-like plasma. Here,
                      the combined high-field and strong coupling regime that is
                      only scarcely covered by theoretical models is of primary
                      interest. To solve the underlying N-body problem for both
                      applications, a highly parallel Barnes- Hut tree code is
                      utilized and considerably extended with respect to
                      functionality, versatility, and scalability. With its new
                      excellent scalability to hundred thousands of processors and
                      simulation setups consisting of up to billions of particles
                      and its support for periodic boundary conditions with an
                      efficient and precise real-space approach it delivers highly
                      resolved results and is prepared for further studies on the
                      warm dense matter regime. Here, its unique predictive
                      capabilities can finally be used for connecting to
                      real-world experiments.},
