Path integral approach to the problem of rotational excitation of   molecules by an ultrashort laser pulses sequence
  The amplitude and probability of quantum transitions are represented as a path integrals in energy state space of the investigated multi-level quantum system. Using this approach we consider rotational dynamics of nitrogen molecules $^{14}N_{2}$ and $^{15}N_{2}$ which interact with a sequence of ultrashort laser pulses. Our computer simulations indicate the complex dependency of the high rotation states excitation probability upon ultrashort laser pulses sequence periods. We observe pronounced resonances, which correspond to the results of some experiments.
