Hello! If I have a 2 level system with the energy difference between the levels ##\omega## and a photon source, producing ##n## photons per second, with a frequency ##\omega/3##. What is the probability of having a 3 photon excitation and how can I derive it?

Two photon microscope has been a familiar apparatus. I suppose you can get some insight from it.
 
Similarly, third-harmonic generation is a well-studied phenomenon with lots of references available.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
