We introduce a new spectroscopic method that determines nonlinear quantum-mechanical response functions beyond the optical diffraction limit. While in established coherent two-dimensional (2D) spectroscopy a four-wave-mixing response is measured using three ingoing and one outgoing wave, in 2D nanoscopy we employ four ingoing and no outgoing waves. The final state is detected via photoemission electron microscopy with sub-50 nm spatial resolution. We record 2D nanospectra from an (18 nm)2 detection area and observe local lineshape variations for plasmonic excitations on a corrugated silver surface. Electronic phase memory persists for longer than 150 fs. 2D nanoscopy makes possible the nonlinear spectroscopic investigation of coherences with nanometer spatial resolution. This allows studying a broad range of phenomena not accessible otherwise such as space-time-resolved coupling, transport, and nonlocal correlations.
