A comparison between the quantum ladder climbing and the classical
autoresonance for robust molecular vibrational excitation from the
ground state shows the disadvantage of shortening the exciting infrared
laser pulse to the sub-picosecond range. Therefore, we demonstrated
ladder climbing in 
molecule by a sub-nanosecond chirped laser pulse.
