ResumoA method to excite multiquantum transitions in a two-level system by application of continuous irradiation with a four-frequency microwave field is presented. The generated signal is composed of many intermodulation sidebands at different frequencies, which arise from the multiquantum transitions. These processes involve an odd number of photons, that are absorbed from, or emitted to two, three, or four fields. The correspondence between the frequency spectrum of the signal and possible pathways of multiquantum processes is found with recourse to the many mode Floquet theory. The reported experiments demonstrate the multiquantum origin of the detected intermodulation sidebands and their properties.
