Inspired by the recent experimental observation of strongly coupled polaritons in a Moir\'e heterobilayer, we study a model of dipole-interacting excitons localized on sites of a lattice and coupled to planar cavity photons. We calculate…
Realizations of some topological phases in two-dimensional systems rely on the challenge of jointly incorporating spin-orbit and magnetic exchange interactions. Here, we predict the formation and control of a fully valley-polarized quantum…
A consistent non-compact axion cosmology requires a non-periodic field, an effective field theory valid sufficiently above the inflationary scale, and a small non-QCD contribution to the potential that tilts the axionic vacuum landscape in…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking plays a pivotal role in many areas of physics, engendering a variety of excitations from sound modes in solids to pions in nuclear physics. Equally important excitations are solitons, nonlinear configurations…
We extend the coupled-wire construction of quantum Hall phases, and search for fractional topological insulating states in models of weakly coupled wires at zero external magnetic field. Focussing on systems beyond double copies of…
We study theoretically the transport of linearly polarized exciton-polaritons in a quasi one-dimensional microcavity channel separating two polariton condensates generated by optical pumping. The direction and value of mass and spin…
We investigate exciton-polariton condensation under magnetic field in a single high-quality semiconductor micropillar cavity. We observe successive polariton condensation of each spin component for two distinct threshold powers. Pronounced…
We study the domain walls which form when Bose condensates acquire a double-well dispersion. Experiments have observed such domain walls in condensates driven across a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry-breaking phase transition in a shaken optical…
We study the atomic collapse phenomenon in $K$ and $K'$ valley of gapped graphene. Bound states induced by Coulomb impurity in the gap turn into atomic collapse resonances as the charge increases beyond the supercritical charge $Z_c$. $Z_c$…
Gapless edge modes hosted by chirally-stacked trilayer graphene display unique features when a bulk gap is opened by applying an interlayer potential difference. We show that trilayer graphene with half-integer valley Hall conductivity…
Domain walls formed during a phase transition in a simple field theory model with $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry in a periodic box have been demonstrated to annihilate as fast as causality allows and their area density scales $\propto t^{-1}$. We…
We study topological surface-plasmon-polaritons at optical frequencies in diffraction gratings formed by bipartite corrugated metal-dielectric gratings. To do so we implement the theory as developed in Della Valle and Longhi to describe the…
Layered 2D halide perovskites are chemically synthesized realizations of quantum well stacks with giant exciton oscillator strengths, tunable emission spectra and very large exciton binding energies. While these features render 2D halide…
Van der Waals (vdW) materials provide a rich platform for exploring the interplay of interactions, topology, and paired-electron phases. We study how the Berry phase reshapes excitonic pairing in a double-well dispersion representative of…
Motivated by Grand Unification, we study the properties of domain walls formed in a model with $SU(5)\times Z_2$ symmetry which is spontaneously broken to $SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1)/Z_6$, and subsequently to $SU(3) \times U(1)/Z_3$.…
Two graphene monolayers that are oppositely charged and placed close to each other are considered. Taking into account valley and spin degeneracy of electrons we analyze the symmetry of the excitonic insulator states in such a system and…
We estimate the condensation temperature for microcavity polaritons, allowing for their internal structure. We consider polaritons formed from localised excitons in a planar microcavity, using a generalised Dicke model. At low densities, we…
The fate of the low-temperature conductance at the charge-neutrality (Dirac) point in a single sheet of graphene is investigated down to 20 mK. As the temperature is lowered, the peak resistivity diverges with a power-law behavior and…
Although only a handful of organic materials have shown polariton condensation, their study is rapidly becoming more accessible. The spontaneous appearance of long-range spatial coherence is often recognized as a defining feature of such…
Parity-time (PT) symmetry gives rise to unusual phenomena in many physical systems, presently attracting a lot of attention. One essential and non-trivial task is the fabrication and design of the PT-symmetric lattices in different systems.…
