We extend the powerful frequency-domain analysis of femtosecond two-photon absorption to the intermediate-field regime, which involves both two- and four-photon transitions. Consequently, we find a broad family of shaped pulses that enhance…
Classical results from Sturm-Liouville theory establish that the Morse index of a one-dimensional Sturm-Liouville operator defined on $\mathbb{R}$ is equal to the number of its associated conjugate points. Recent advancements by Beck et…

The common perception is that strong coupling to the environment will always render the evolution of the system density matrix quasi-classical (in fact, diffusive) in the long time limit. We present here a counter-example, in which a…
A quantum finite multi-barrier system, with a periodic potential, is considered and exact expressions for its plane wave amplitudes are obtained using the Transfer Matrix method [10]. This quantum model is then associated with a stochastic…
