Abstract: Studies on the dynamics of multilevel quantum systems in a coherent radiation field are reviewed. Major attention is paid to phenomena of quantum nonlinear resonance and the interaction of two quantum nonlinear resonances, and also to the analysis of the real physical systems where these phenomena are realized.
