Coherent dynamics of degenerate quantum states symmetry-broken on the femtosecond timescale is found to exhibit the phenomenon of quantum beats. Frequency-resolved and polarization-selective heterodyned transient grating spectroscopy enabled us to retrieve the oscillation pattern characteristic of the beating in systems undergoing ultrafast dynamical processes. This methodology applies to the general phenomena of coherence dynamics which is important in any ultrafast multidimensional spectroscop ...[more]
