29. E from 0.0001 to 0.005 a.u. has only minor effects on the essential spectral features. The larger value effectively smoothes the simulated absorption signal.
30. We compare to the "magic angle" absorption recovery, Fig. 9(a) of Ref. 2, in which the effects of cluster rotation have been removed by averaging the two absorption signals measured with the probe parallel and perpendicular to the pump. This is the appropriate signal with which to compare our simulation, because our calculated absorption intensities do not take into account the orientation of the transition dipole in the laboratory frame.
31. We have normalized the simulated absorption signal in Fig. 2(b) by scaling the intensity at 20 ps to match the intensity, at 20 ps, of the normalized absorption recovery signal calculated using the 100-trajectory, long-time ensemble, Fig. 2(a). This indirect procedure is required because the 250-trajectory ensemble used to generate Fig. 2(b) was terminated at 20 ps, before the signal had reached its asympotic limit.
