The quantum regression theorem states that the correlations of a system at two different times are governed by the same equations of motion as the temporal response of the average values. Here we report experiments demonstrating that the two-time second-order correlations of a photon Bose-Einstein condensate inside a dye-filled microcavity exhibit the same eigenvalues of the dynamics as the response of the condensate to a sudden perturbation of the dye molecule bath. This confirms an unconventional form of the regression theorem for a coupled many-body quantum system, where the perturbation acts on the bath and only the condensate response is monitored. For strong perturbations, we observe nonlinear relaxation dynamics well described by microscopic theory, confirming the regression theorem for an optical quantum gas also beyond the regime of linear response.
