\[ \rho_n(t) = \frac{-i}{\hbar}\int_{0}^{t}{d\tau[H(\tau),\rho_{n-1}(\tau)]} \]
By differentiating both sides,
we an equation of motion for the n\ts{th} order perturbation is recursively defined:
\[ \pd{\rho_n(t)}{t} = \frac{-i}{\hbar}[H(t),\rho_{n-1}(t)] \]
In nonlinear spectroscopy, the polarization is related to the perturbation of the density matrix as follows (see Mukamel):
\[ P_n(t) = \avg{\mu \rho_n(t)} \]
We wish to use a general form to relate our polarization measurement $P_3(t)$ with n\ts{th} order perturbations of our density matrix. In superoperator form, let us define $x$ as a concatenation of $\rho_n, 0\le n\le 3$:
\[ x(t) = \left( \begin{array}{cccc}
\rho_0(t) \\
\rho_1(t) \\
\rho_2(t) \\
\rho_3(t) \\
\end{array} \right)\]
The third-order polarization measurement $P_3(t)$ is therefore
\[ P_3(t) = \left(\begin{array}{c}0 & 0 & 0 & F\\\end{array}\right) x(t)\]
such that in operator form, $F \cdot = \avg{\mu \cdot}$. $x(t)$ is governed by the time evolution equation
\[ \pd{x(t)}{t} = \left( \begin{array}{cccc}
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
A & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & A & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & A & 0 \\
\end{array} \right) x(t) \]
where
