12. Of course, there may be a need for fast pulses to compete with decoherence processes which emanate from coupling to systems outside the molecule (e.g., decoherence due to either spontaneous emission or to collision with molecules in the environment). These, however, are processes that are distinct from intramolecular vibrational redistribution which cannot decohere the system.
