We rigorously apply the sum rules to the sum-over-states expression to calculate the fundamental limits of the dispersion of the two-photon absorption cross-section. A comparison of the theory with the data suggests that the truncated sum…
Fermi-edge absorption theory predicting the spectrum, A(\omega)\propto \omega^{-2\delta_0/\pi+\delta^2_0/\pi^2}, relies on the assumption that scattering phase, \delta_0, is frequency-independent. Dependence of \delta_0 on \omega becomes…
Rabi frequencies for multiphoton absorption by atoms or molecules that can be characterized as two- or three-level systems are obtained in the cases of single and double laser perturbations. If the ambiguity in the origin of absolute energy…

Precise measurement of the electric dipole moments (EDM) of fundamental charged particles would provide a significant probe of physics beyond the standard model. Any measurably large EDM would imply violation of both time reversal and…
Permanent electric dipole moments (EDMs) are sensitive probes of the symmetry structure of elementary particles, which in turn is closely tied to the baryon asymmetry in the universe. A meaningful interpretation framework for EDM…
