51. 3, assuming N vibrational levels in each electronic state. The first term accounts for time evolution during pulse overlap. The second and third terms account for the making of the pump and probe time evolution operators and the application of these operators, respectively. The last term accounts for the excited-state time propagation. Thus, the nonperturbative approach has only minimal memory requirements, but is similarly computationally demanding to the first direct perturbative T-calculation method.
