We have studied the A(1g) coherent phonons in bismuth generated by high fluence ultrashort laser pulses. We observed that the nonlinear regime, where the phonons' oscillation parameters depend on fluence, consists of subregimes with distinct dynamics. Just after entering the nonlinear regime, the phonons become chirped. Increasing the fluence further leads to the emergence of a collapse and revival, which next turns into multiple collapses and revivals. This is explained by the dynamics of a wave packet in an anharmonic potential, where the packet periodically breaks up and reconstitutes in its original form, giving convincing evidence that the phonons are in a quantum state, with no classical analog.
