A dark soliton becomes unstable when it is incident on a background density gradient, and the induced instability results in the emission of sound. Detailed quantitative studies of sound emission are performed for various potentials, such…

Dimensionality significantly affects exciton production and condensation. Despite the report of excitonic instability in one-dimensional materials, it remains unclear whether these spontaneously produced excitons can form Bose-Einstein…
We approach the biexciton Schr\"{o}dinger equation not through the free-carrier basis as usually done, but through the free-exciton basis, exciton-exciton interactions being treated according to the recently developed composite boson…
We formulated an effective theory for a single interlayer exciton in a bilayer quantum antiferromagnet, in the limit that the holon and doublon are strongly bound onto one interlayer rung by the Coulomb force. Upon using a rung linear spin…
Ultralight bosons, which are predicted in a variety of beyond-Standard-Model scenarios as dark-matter candidates, can trigger the superradiant instability around spinning black holes. This instability gives rise to oscillating boson…
We investigate the ground states of a Bose-Einstein condensate of indirect excitons coupled to an electron gas. We show that in a properly designed system, the crossing of a roton minimum into the negative energy domain can result in the…

The number of excitons that conjugated polymers can support at any one time underpins their optoelectronic performance in light emitting diodes and as laser gain media, as it sets a natural limit on exciton density. Here we have measured…
Spectroscopy of muonic atoms is, to date, the most accurate technique to extract parameters of the nuclear charge density. The same reasons for their heightened sensitivity to nuclear parameters, a large overlap of the muonic wavefunction…

We use a three-pulse ultrafast optical spectroscopy to study the relaxation processes in a frustrated Mott insulator Na$_2$IrO$_3$. By being able to independently produce the out-of-equilibrium bound states (excitons) of doublons and holons…
When electron-hole pairs are excited in a semiconductor, it is a priori not clear if they form a fermionic plasma of unbound particles or a bosonic exciton gas. Usually, the exciton phase is associated with low temperatures. In atomically…
Excitonic polarons are quasiparticles formed by a Coulomb-bound electron-hole pair with strong coupling to lattice vibrations. Despite high fundamental interest in excitonic polarons, the experimental investigation of these particles…
