Ultrafast electronic dynamics in solids lies at the core of modern condensed matter and materials physics. To build up a practical ab initio method in this field, we develop the momentum-resolved real-time time dependent density functional theory (rt-TDDFT), together with the implementation of length gauge electromagnetic field. When applied to simulate elementary excitation in graphene, different excitation modes, only distinguishable in momentum space, are observed. The momentum-resolved rt-TDDFT is important and efficient for the study of ultrafast dynamics in extended systems.
