A resonantly excited coherent phonon leads to a periodic oscillation of the atomic lattice in a crystal structure bringing the material into a non-equilibrium electronic configuration. Periodically oscillating quantum systems can be…
The Thomas-Reiche-Kuhn optical (TRK) sum rules for bulk materials have customarily been obtained by combining the Kramers-Kronig relations with the high frequency limit of the optical susceptibility tensor $\chi_{ij}$. Also, a non-singular…
Classical sum rules arise in a wide variety of physical contexts. Asymptotic expressions have been derived for many of these sum rules in the limit of long orbital period (or large action). Although sum rule convergence may well be…

An important quantity in electronic systems is the quasiparticle scattering rate (QPSR). A related optical scattering rate (OSR) is routinely extracted from optical data, and, while it is not the same as the QPSR, it nevertheless displays…
It is explicitly shown, for optical processes arbitrarily comprising two-, three- or four-photon interactions, that the sum over all matter states of any optical susceptibility is exactly zero. The result remains true even in frequency…
Sum rules have played an important role in the development of many branches of physics since the earliest days of quantum mechanics. We present examples of one-dimensional quantum mechanical sum rules and apply them in two familiar systems,…
We propose a novel general approximation to transform and simplify the description of a complex fully-quantized system describing the interacting light and matter. The method has some similarities to the time-dependent Born-Oppenheimer…
Quantum trapping potentials for ultracold gases change the landscape of classical properties of scattered light and matter. The atoms in a quantum many-body correlated phase of matter change the properties of light and vice versa. The…
We introduce the concept of quantum weight as a fundamental property of insulating states of matter that is encoded in the ground-state static structure and measures quantum fluctuation in electrons' center of mass. We find a sum rule that…
We outline a fundamentally quantum description of bosonic dark matter (DM) from which the conventional classical-wave picture emerges in the limit $m \ll 10~\textrm{eV}$. As appropriate for a quantum system, we start from the density matrix…
The Kramers-Kronig relations and various oscillator strength sum rules represent strong constraints on the physical response of materials. In this work, taking inspiration from the well-established equivalence between $f-$sum rules and…
For many-electron systems, we consider a nonequilibrium state (NES) that is driven by a pump field(s), which is either an optical field or a longitudinal electric field. For the differential optical conductivity describing the differential…
Dynamical symmetries of laser-dressed matter determine selection rules that determine its absorption spectrum. We explore selection rules for polarization-sensitive absorption in Floquet matter, using Floquet group theory in synthetic…
We derive and analyze the f-sum rule for a two-dimensional (2D) system of interacting electrons whose behavior is described by the Dirac equation. We apply the sum rule to analyze the spectral weight transfer in graphene within different…

In a single finite electronic band the total optical spectral weight or optical sum carries information on the interactions involved between the charge carriers as well as on their band structure. It varies with temperature as well as with…
We derive a sum rule which establishes a linear relation between a particle's anomalous magnetic moment and a quantity connected to the photoabsorption cross-section. This quantity cannot be measured directly. However, it can be computed…
