Abstract
We employ two-dimensional (2D) coherent, nonlinear spectroscopy to investigate couplings within individual InAs quantum dots (QD) and QD molecules. Swapping pulse ordering in a two-beam sequence permits to distinguish between rephasing and non-rephasing four-wave mixing (FWM) configurations. We emphasize the non-rephasing case, allowing to monitor two-photon coherence dynamics. Respective Fourier transform yields a double quantum 2D FWM map, which is corroborated with its single quantum counterpart, originating from the rephasing sequence. We introduce referencing of the FWM phase with the one carried by the driving pulses, overcoming the necessity of its active-stabilization, as required in 2D spectroscopy. Combining single and double quantum 2D FWM, provides a pertinent tool in detecting and ascertaining coherent coupling mechanisms between individual quantum systems, as exemplified experimentally.

Coherently wired light-harvesting in photosynthetic marine algae at ambient temperature

TL;DR: Observations provide compelling evidence for quantum-coherent sharing of electronic excitation across the 5-nm-wide proteins under biologically relevant conditions, suggesting that distant molecules within the photosynthetic proteins are ‘wired’ together by quantum coherence for more efficient light-harvesting in cryptophyte marine algae.

Two-dimensional spectroscopy of electronic couplings in photosynthesis

TL;DR: This work directly measures electronic couplings in a molecular complex, the Fenna–Matthews–Olson photosynthetic light-harvesting protein, and finds distinct energy transport pathways that depend sensitively on the detailed spatial properties of the delocalized excited-state wavefunctions of the whole pigment–protein complex.

Structure of the amide i band of peptides measured by femtosecond nonlinear-infrared spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this paper, a femtosecond pump probe and dynamic hole burning experiments were used to examine the ultrafast response of the modes in the 1600−1700 cm-1 region (the so-called amide I modes) of N-methylacetamide (NMA) and three small globular peptides, apamin, scyllatoxin, and bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI).

Ultralong Dephasing Time in InGaAs Quantum Dots

TL;DR: Between 7 and 100 K the polarization decay has two distinct components resulting in a non-Lorentzian line shape with a lifetime-limited zero-phonon line and a broadband from elastic exciton-acoustic phonon interactions.
