Abstract
This paper introduces a method to quantitatively determine the various pathways taken by a quantum system ill going from the initial state to the fin al target. The mechanism is revealed by encoding a signal in the system Hamiltonian and decoding the resultant nonlinear distortion of the signal in the system time evolution operator , The relevant interfering pathways determined by this analysis give insight into the physical mechanisms operative during the evolution of the quantum system.
