Abstract

We measure the dynamics of the quantum phase coherence of the wave function describing interacting electrons and holes optically excited into the continuum of a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well. We achieve this by spectrally resolving both the transient four-wave mixing signal and the differential transmission signal arising from such interacting carriers. We observe a dynamical blue shift of the coherent four-wave mixing emission spectrum with respect to the excitation laser pulse and interpret this as a direct manifestation of the dynamic Coulomb correlation effects in this many-body system.
