Resonant scattering of weak coherent laser pulses on a single two-level system (TLS) realized in a semiconductor quantum dot is investigated with respect to a time delay between incoming and scattered light [1]. This type of time delay was predicted by Wigner in 1955 for purely coherent scattering and was confirmed for an atomic system [2]. In presence of electron-phonon interaction we observe deviations from Wigner’s theory related to incoherent and strongly non-Markovian scattering processes which are hard to quantify in a phenomenological T₂-time. We observe Wigner delays of up to 530 ps in our experiments which quantifies the effective pure dephasing constant to T₂ = (445 ± 16) ps, supported by microscopic theory.
