    "abstract": "We use numerical optimization to find a one-dimensional potential energy\nfunction that yields the largest hyperpolarizability, which we find is within\n30% of the fundamental limit. Our results reveal insights into the character of\nthe potential energy functions and wavefunctions that lead to the largest\nhyperpolarizability. We suggest that donor-acceptor molecules with a conjugated\nbridge with many sites of reduced conjugation to impart conjugation modulation\nmay be the best paradigm for making materials with huge hyperpolarizabilities\nthat approach the fundamental limit.",
