But in a quantum harmonic oscillator, the energy levels can only be certain values. As in the Hamiltonian is:

H = omega*planckbar(N + 0.5)

where N is the state counter (number operator).

As a direct reply to your links: So did the fact that two photon excitation works then not make this entire paper not that interesting or novel?



The interesting bit is the experiment here as far as I know, but that is completely consistent with QM (basically validates it).
