Results from a GaAs quantum well system reveal distinct coherences of biexcitons that are formed from two identical excitons or from two excitons whose holes are in di®erent spin sublevels ("heavy-hole" and "light-hole" excitons). The biexciton binding energies and dephasing dynamics are determined, and changes in the dephasing rates as a function of the excitation density are observed, revealing still higher-order correlations due to exciton-biexciton interactions. Two-quantum coherences due to four-particle correlations that do not involve bound biexciton states but that in°uence the exciton properties are also observed and characterized. I also present one-quantum two-dimensional Fourier transform optical spectroscopy measurements which show that the higher-order correlations isolated by two-quantum techniques are highly convolved with two-particle correlations in the conventional one-quantum measurements.
