Halpin, Johnson, and Miller contest our assignment of quantum beating signals observed in the two-dimensional electronic spectra of a series of fluorescein heterodimers to electronic coherences. Here, we present resonance Raman spectra, statistical analysis on multiple data sets, and an explanation of differences between the family of molecules described in our Report and the homodimer examined by the commenters. We contend that these results all support our assignment of the beating signals to electronic coherences.
哈尔平、约翰逊和米勒对我们将一系列荧光素杂二聚体的二维电子光谱中观察到的量子拍频信号归因于电子相干提出了质疑。在这里,我们呈现了共振拉曼光谱、对多个数据集的统计分析,以及对我们报告中所描述的分子家族与评论者所研究的同二聚体之间差异的解释。我们认为,这些结果都支持我们将拍频信号归因于电子相干的结论。
