In this work, we extend the proof and present a detailed derivation of Miller's rule for an equivalent quantum-mechanical anharmonic oscillator. For this purpose, the classical concept of velocity-dependent damping inherent to the Lorentz model is replaced by an adiabatic switch-on of the external electric field, which allows a unified treatment of the classical and quantum-mechanical systems using identical potentials and fields. Although the dynamics of the resulting charge oscillations, and hence the induced polarizations, deviate due to the finite zero-point motion in the quantum-mechanical framework, we find that Miller's rule is nevertheless identical in both cases up to terms of first order in the anharmonicity. With a view to practical applications, especially in the context of ab initio calculations for the optical response where adiabatically switched-on fields are widely assumed, we demonstrate that a correct treatment of finite broadening parameters is essential to avoid spurious errors that may falsely suggest a violation of Miller's rule, and we illustrate this point by means of a numerical example."}],"intvolume":" 57","issue":"9","file":[{"date_updated":"2024-04-04T09:24:22Z","file_name":"Meyer_2024_J._Phys._B _At._Mol._Opt._Phys._57_095001.pdf","access_level":"open_access","content_type":"application/pdf","file_id":"53204","date_created":"2024-04-04T09:24:22Z","creator":"schindlm","file_size":358155,"relation":"main_file","description":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC BY 4.0)","title":"Derivation of Miller's rule for the nonlinear optical susceptibility of a quantum anharmonic oscillator"}],"date_updated":"2024-04-13T11:20:56Z","volume":57,"has_accepted_license":"1","department":[{"_id":"296"},{"_id":"230"},{"_id":"15"},{"_id":"170"},{"_id":"35"}],"date_created":"2024-03-22T08:44:39Z","doi":"10.1088/1361-6455/ad369c","external_id":{"isi":["001196678300001"]},"publication_status":"published","file_date_updated":"2024-04-04T09:24:22Z","author":[{"id":"77895","first_name":"Maximilian Tim","last_name":"Meyer","full_name":"Meyer, Maximilian Tim","orcid":"0009-0003-4899-0920"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-4855-071X","first_name":"Arno","id":"458","last_name":"Schindlmayr","full_name":"Schindlmayr, Arno"}],"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1361-6455"],"issn":["0953-4075"]}}
