Description
In this paper we discuss the excitation of a quantum harmonic system, such as a particle bound in a harmonic oscillator potential, by means of dipole and quadrupole electric fields, focusing on effects of their interference. We obtain an exact solution to this problem with methods that date back to the ideas of Wigner. We discuss the rich class of dynamic polarization effects that are involved in such excitation processes and which are relevant to stopping theory, and electromagnetic excitation of atomic and nuclear systems
