TY  - JOUR
AB  - The longitudinal (1) and transverse (2) decay rates of a two-level quantum system have a profound influenceon its evolution. Atomic systems with 2 = 121 have been studied extensively, but with the rise of solid-statequantum devices it is also important to consider the effect of stronger transverse relaxation due to interactionswith the solid environment. Here we study the quantum dynamics of a single organic dye molecule driven by alaser. We measure the variation of 2 with temperature and determine the activation energy for thermal dephasingof the optical dipole. Then we measure the second-order correlation function g(2)(τ ) of the light emitted by themolecule for various ratios 2/1 and saturation parameters S. We show that the general solution to the opticalBloch equations accurately describes the observed quantum dynamics over a wide range of these parameters,and we discuss the limitations of the various approximate expressions for g(2)(τ ) that appear in the literature.DOI:
