Quantum modeling of multi-photon excitations
Response Theory Approach: Based upon Ehrenfest’s theorem and perturbation
expansion we obtain response functions by solving systems of linear equations
•Explicit summation over excited states is effectively replaced by system of
equations
•Frequency independent and frequency dependent properties are treated on
equal footing
•Arbitrary property is obtained by appropriate choice of operators A,B,C and D
to the response function
•Easy to calculate residues of response functions → multiphoton absorption
•Applicable for large dimensional problems
