6. Single coherent superposition of selection rule allowed energy levels. The coherence oscillates at the characteristic resonant frequency of the transition. a b c d

7. a b c d Multiple photons access dipole-forbidden transitions. This study determined that 3 rd and higher order coherences are not detectable, and thus the approximate phenomenological density matrix selection rule states: Set to zero

8. a b c d Similar development of the density matrix for a regressively connected energy level scheme. Dipole forbidden quantum beats oscillate with a difference of adjacent transitions sharing a common energy level. This restriction yields the approximate density matrix selection rule: Set to zero

The four general periods of a two-pulse 2D experiment are preparation (A), t 1 evolution (B), mixing (C), and t 2 detection (D). The state of the system at the end of each period serves as initial conditions for the subsequent period.The four general periods of a two-pulse 2D experiment are preparation (A), t 1 evolution (B), mixing (C), and t 2 detection (D).
