The anticorrelation shown in b between the amplitude of the diagonal exciton peak (black line in a) and the ratio of the diagonal to anti-diagonal widths of the peak (red lines in a) is a characteristic predicted from theory for exciton quantum beating17. This pattern would not arise from phonon coupling and highlights the change in integrated line strength associated with quantum beating.
