Rotational excitation of polar molecules trapped in an optical lattice gives rise to rotational excitons. Here we show that non-linear interactions of such excitons can be controlled by an electric field. The exciton--exciton interactions…

We show the full control of the polarization dynamics of a propagating exciton-polariton condensate in a planar microcavity by using a magnetic field applied in the Voigt geometry. The change of the spin-beat frequency, the suppression of…

First order coherence measurements of a polariton condensate, reveal a regime where the condensate pseudo-spin precesses persistently within the driving optical pulse. Within a single 20 $\mu$s optical pulse the condensate pseudo-spin…
