A pair of simulated left and right circularly polarized ultra‐fast laser pulses of duration 20 femtoseconds that induce a mixture of excited states are applied to ethane. The response of the electron dynamics is investigated within the next generation quantum theory of atoms in molecules (NG‐QTAIM)...
