abstract = {Quantum coherence between electronic states of a
photoionized molecule and the resulting process of ultrafast
electron-hole migration have been put forward as a possible
quantum mechanism of charge-directed reactivity governing
the photoionization-induced molecular decomposition.
Attosecond experiments based on the indirect (fragment
ion-based) characterization of the proposed electronic
phenomena suggest that the photoionization-induced
electronic coherence can survive for tens of femtoseconds,
while some theoretical studies predict much faster decay of
the coherence due to the quantum uncertainty in the nuclear
positions and the nuclear-motion effects. The open questions
are: do long-lived electronic quantum coherences exist in
complex molecules and can they be probed directly, i.e. via
electronic observables? Here, we use x-rays both to create
and to directly probe quantum coherence in the photoionized
amino acid glycine. The outgoing photoelectron wave leaves
behind a positively charged ion that is in a coherent
superposition of quantum mechanical eigenstates lying within
the ionizing pulse spectral bandwidth. Delayed x-ray pulses
track the induced coherence through resonant x-ray
absorption that induces Auger decay and by the photoelectron
emission from sequential double photoionization. Sinusoidal
temporal modulation of the detected signal at early times (0
- 25 fs) is observed in both measurements. Advanced ab
initio many-electron simulations, taking into account the
quantum uncertainty in the nuclear positions, allow us to
explain the first 25 fs of the detected coherent quantum
evolution in terms of the electronic coherence.},
