The demonstration of Bose-Einstein condensation in atomic gases at micro-Kelvin temperatures is a striking landmark while its evidence for semiconductor excitons still is a long-awaited milestone. This situation was not foreseen because…
The non elementary-boson nature of excitons controls Bose-Einstein condensation in semiconductors. Composite excitons interact predominantly through Pauli exclusion; this produces dramatic couplings between bright and dark states. In…
We show that a Bose-Einstein condensate consisting of dark excitons forms in GaAs coupled quantum wells at low temperatures. We find that the condensate extends over hundreds of micrometers, well beyond the optical excitation region, and is…
We show that for the very same reason that excitons are bright, i.e. coupled to photons, they have a higher energy than dark excitons, even for electrons spatially separated from holes, such as in a double quantum well. Indeed, the same…
Bilayer materials may support interlayer excitons comprised of electrons in one layer and holes in the other. In experiments, a non-zero exciton density is typically sustained by a bias chemical potential, implemented either by optical…
The formation of a dense Bose-Einstein condensate in dark spin states of two-dimensional dipolar excitons is shown to be driven by a dynamical transition to the long-lived dark states. The condensate is stabilized by strong dipole-dipole…
We propose optical means to reveal the presence of a dark exciton condensate that does not yield any photoluminescence at all. We show that (i) the dark exciton density can be obtained from the blueshift of the excitonic absorption line…
Coherent emission of light by a split excitonic Bose-Einstein condensate -- excitonic Josephson junction -- can be extremely sensitive to the Josephson phase established across the junction. As a result of this, the emission can be…
Condensation of bosons causes spectacular phenomena such as superfluidity or superconductivity. Understanding the nature of the condensed particles is crucial for active control of such quantum phases. Fascinating possibilities emerge from…
Using the composite boson many-body formalism that takes single-exciton states rather than free carrier states as a basis, we derive the integral equation fulfilled by the exciton-exciton effective scattering from which the role of fermion…
We study semiconductor excitons confined in an electrostatic trap of a GaAs bilayer heterostructure. We evidence that optically bright excitonic states are strongly depleted while cooling to sub-Kelvin temperatures. In return, the other…
We demonstrate a possibility for exciton Bose-Einstein condensation in individual small-diameter (~1-2 nm) semiconducting carbon nanotubes. The effect occurs under the exciton-interband-plasmon coupling controlled by an external…
We consider a bilayer system of two-dimensional Bose-Einstein-condensed dipolar dark excitons (upper layer) and bright ones (bottom layer). We demonstrate that the interlayer interaction leads to a mixing between excitations from different…
A theoretical model is developed for treating super conductive Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) effects for excitons in planar systems, under the condition that many excitons are included in a surface area, with the dimensions of the…
It is demonstrated that stable, standing dark solitons can be created in current dilute-gas Bose-Einstein condensate experiments by the proper combination of phase and density engineering. Other combinations result in a widely controllable…
A Bose-Einstein condensate is the ground state of a dilute gas of bosons, such as atoms cooled to temperatures close to absolute zero. With much smaller mass, excitons (bound electron-hole pairs) are expected to condense at significantly…
We show that Dark Matter consisting of bosons of mass of about 1eV or less has critical temperature exceeding the temperature of the universe at all times, and hence would have formed a Bose-Einstein condensate at very early epochs. We also…
Exciton-polaritons are composite bosonic quasiparticles arising from the strong coupling of excitonic transitions and optical modes. Exciton-polaritons have triggered wide exploration in the past decades not only due to their rich quantum…
The crossover between low and high density regimes of exciton-polariton condensates is examined using a BCS wavefunction approach. Our approach is an extension of the BEC-BCS crossover theory for excitons, but includes a cavity photon…
The Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of magnetoexcitonic polaritons in a graphene layer embedded in a optical microcavity in a high magnetic field $B$ is predicted. The essential property of this system (in contrast, e.g., to a quantum well…
