Paper Abstract
Spatially extended molecular structures, modeled as quantum graphs with one-dimensional electron dynamics,
exhibit optical responses that can approach the fundamental limits. We present the results of a comprehensive
study of the topological dependence of the nonlinearities of quantum graphs and show exactly how the first and
second hyperpolarizability of a graph depend upon its topological class and how the hyperpolarizability tensors
vary with graph geometry. We show how graphs with star motifs share universal scaling behavior near the
maximum nonlinear responses and articulate design rules for quantum-confined, quasi-one dimensional systems
that may be realized using molecular elements and nanowires.
