We call it Numerical Integration of Schrödinger's Equation (NISE). It is built on top of the open source SciPy library \cite{JonesEric2011.000}, and is compatible with all versions of Python 2.7 and newer. + +We have included the NISE package in this supplementary information. To use NISE first install Python and SciPy if you haven't already, see \href{https://www.scipy.org/install.html}{https://www.scipy.org/install.html}. Then place the NISE package into a directory within your \texttt{PYTHONPATH}. You should be able to \texttt{import NISE} to run and interact with simulations. + +We have also built a general-purpose data analysis package called WrightTools. NISE does not require WrightTools, but many of the processing scripts and the figure creation script used in this work do. For this reason we have included the WrightTools package in the supplementary information. + +Our software packages are constantly being developed. The versions kept in this supplementary information are primarily for legacy purposes, to ensure that the processing scripts are kept in their full context. Please refer to our GitHub page, \href{https://github.com/wright-group}{https://github.com/wright-group}, for the most recent version of our open source software and hardware. + +\subsubsection{Raw} + +The raw simulation in this work was generated using NISE and the \texttt{NISE\_iterator.py} script found in the raw folder. + +In NISE, an \texttt{experiment} module is loaded to define the electric field variables and the experimental conditions, like the phase matching. In this case we used the \texttt{trive} module, which defines our normal, two-color four wave mixing experimental conditions. + +Within this work we have represented our data in terms of dimensionless quantities like $\tau/\Delta_t$ and $(\omega-\omega_{10})/\Delta_\omega$. The simulation within NISE was done with choices for each parameter, as tabulated below. These quantities are necessary to fully understand the unprocessed arrays generated by NISE. + +\begin{center} + \begin{tabular}{r l} + $\omega_{10}$ & 7000 $\mathrm{cm}^{-1}$ \\ + $\mu_{10}$ & 1 \\ + $\mu_{21}$ & 1 \\ + $\Gamma_{11}$ & 0 $\mathrm{fs}^{-1}$ \\ + $\Delta_t$ & 50 fs + \end{tabular} +\end{center} + +$\Gamma_{10}$, $\Gamma_{21}$ and $\Gamma_{20}$ were kept equal. Their exact value for a given run of the simulation depends on the $\Gamma_{10}\Delta_t$ quantity as discussed in the paper. We use the term \texttt{dpr} (dephasing pulse ratio) which is the inverse of $\Gamma_{10}\Delta_t$. + +In NISE the system parameters are contained within the \texttt{hamiltonian} module, in this case \texttt{H0}. The \texttt{Omega} object contains all of the system attributes you would expect, including the $\overline{\rho}(t)$ (\texttt{dm\_vector}) and $\overline{\overline{Q}}(t)$ (\texttt{gen\_matrix()}) matrices as in \autoref{eq:generic_diff}. The matrix in the software does not account for relaxation and dephasing, that is accounted for directly during the integration. Within \texttt{H0} we actually define two $\overline{\overline{Q}}$ `permutations', one for pathways in which $E_1$ arrives first (\texttt{w1\_first == True}) and one for pathways in which $E_{2^\prime}$ arrives first (\texttt{w1\_first == False}). This separate permutation approach is mathematically identical to the single matrix approach in \autoref{eq:single_Q}, just slightly more computationally expensive. \texttt{H0.Omega} allows you to define which time-orderings are included using the \texttt{TOs} keyword argument. This directly affects how the propagator is assembled, as discussed in \autoref{eq:single_Q_pw1}. + +To generate the raw data we calculated the polarization at all coordinates within a four-dimensional experimental array: + +\begin{center} + \begin{tabular}{c | c | c | c} + axis & center & full width & number of points \\ \hline + w1 & 7000 & 3000 & 41 \\ + w2 & 7000 & 3000 & 41 \\ + d1 & 0 & 400 & 21 \\ + d2 & 0 & 400 & 21 + \end{tabular} +\end{center} + +Arrays containing these points were assembled and passed into the \texttt{trive} module. These axes and \texttt{H0} were passed into the \texttt{scan} module for numerical integration. A single output array was saved for each scan. To keep the output array sizes reasonable a separate simulation was done for each $\Gamma_{10}\Delta_t$, time-ordering, and \texttt{d1} value. For each of these simulations we saved one five-dimensional array to an HDF5 file: + +\begin{center} + \begin{tabular}{c | c | c} + index & name & size \\ \hline + 0 & w1 & 41 \\ + 1 & w2 & 41 \\ + 2 & d2 & 21 \\ + 3 & permutation & 2 \\ + 4 & timestep & variable \\ + \end{tabular} +\end{center} + +The final index `timestep' contains the dependence of the output polarization on lab time. It changes from simulation to simulation to help with computation speed. For each simulation the timetep array is defined by a starting position (always 100 fs before the first pulse arrives) an ending position ($5 \times \tau_{10}$ fs after the last pulse arrives), and a step (4 fs for our longest dephasing time, 2 fs otherwise). + +The output polarization is kept as a complex array in the lab frame. + +\subsubsection{Measured} + +As mentioned in the appendix, we introduce inhomogeneity by convolving the output with a distribution function on the intensity level: `smearing'. This is done in the measurement stage. We store a separate HDF5 file for each combination of \texttt{dpr}, time ordering, and $\Delta_{\text{inhom}}$. Each HDF5 file contains four arrays: + +\begin{center} + \begin{tabular}{c | c | c} + alias & dimensions & shape \\ \hline + \texttt{w1} & w1 & \texttt{(41,)} \\ + \texttt{w2} & w2 & \texttt{(41,)} \\ + \texttt{d1} & d1 & \texttt{(21,)} \\ + \texttt{d2} & w2 & \texttt{(21,)} \\ + \texttt{arr} & w1, w2, d1, d2 & \texttt{(41, 41, 21, 21)} + \end{tabular} +\end{center} + +The coordinate arrays are in their native units (fs, $\mathrm{cm}^{-1}$). The signal array is purely real, stored on the intensity level. + +We measured the entire simulation space twice, one with and one without the monochromator bandpass filter. + +\subsubsection{Representations} + +We present many representations of our simulated dataset in this work. The script used to create these figures is \texttt{figures.py}, found in this supplementary information.
