Investigating nonclassicality in nonlinear electronic spectroscopy
arXiv:1808.04427 · doi:10.1088/2058-9565/ab1714
Abstract
In this work, we establish a connection between nonlinear electronic spectroscopy and the protocol for the non-disturbance condition, the non-fullfilment of which is a witness of nonclassicality and can be related to the presence of coherence. Our approach permits us to express the nonclassicality witness condition in terms of common observables in the context of electronic spectroscopy experiments, such as the induced polarization. In this way, we provide the theoretical framework allowing one to infer nonclassicality from the detected signals in these experiments.
