30. The mixed terms E†A and A†E have been omitted since they vanish in standard pump-probe experiments, which average over the phase of the electric field.

35. In all calculations, approximate and exact nonperturbative data have been scaled by multiplication with a constant factor, which was usually chosen such that the signals coincide at the maximal delay time.

44. Unlike the probing of the system as a function of the delay time and probe frequency, the interaction with the pump pulse needs to be calculated only a single time. It is therefore not a time-consuming task and can be readily performed exactly. Within the Franck-Condon approximation, finite pump pulses and overlapping laser fields have been described in Ref. 16.
