An ordered state of electrons in solids in which excitons condense was proposed many years ago as a theoretical possibility but has, until recently, never been observed. We review recent studies of semiconductor bilayer systems that provide…
We theoretically predict that a true bilayer exciton condensate,characterised by off-diagonal long range order and global phase coherence, can be created in one-dimensional solid state electron systems. The mechanism by which this happens…

We develop a many-body theory for the properties of exciton-polaritons interacting strongly with a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of exciton-polaritons in another spin state. Interactions lead to the presence of a two-body bound state, the…
The laser excitation of an ion crystal to high lying and long-lived electronic states is a genuine many-body process even if in fact only a single ion is excited. This is a direct manifestation of the strong coupling between internal and…
A three dimensional attractive Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) is expected to collapse, when the number of the particles $N$ in the ground state or the interaction strength $\lambda_0$ exceeds a critical value. We study systems of different…
The concept of an exciton as a quasiparticle that represents collective excited states was originally adapted from solid-state physics and has been successfully applied to molecular aggregates by relying on the well-established limits of…

The $X(3872)$ resonance has been conjectured to be a $J^{PC} = 1^{++}$ charm meson-antimeson two-body molecule. Meanwhile, there is no experimental evidence for larger, few-body compounds of multiple charm meson-antimeson pairs which would…
We study the exciton dynamics in an optically excited nanocrystal quantum dot. Multiple exciton formation is more efficient in nanocrystal quantum dots compared to bulk semiconductors due to enhanced Coulomb interactions and the absence of…
