A two level system is considered which has no static dipole moment, e.g. molecule $H_2$ in its ground electronic state. If strong enough external field is applied, it will dynamically distort such a system and supply it with time (and…
Nonlinear systems are capable of displaying complex behavior even if this is the result of a small number of interacting time scales. A widely studied case is when complex dynamics emerges out of a nonlinear system being forced by a simple…
