The wavefunction of a collection of identical quantum particles of integer spin (bosons) is even under exchange of the coordinates of any two of them. This symmetrization rule of quantum mechanics leads to stimulation of the scattering rate…
Band engineering stands as an efficient route to induce strongly correlated quantum many-body phenomena. Besides inspiring analogies among diverse physical fields, tuning on demand the group velocity is highly attractive in photonics…
The possibility of a significant slowdown of particles by removing them from a localized state in an electromagnetic potential well with a fixed spatial distribution is shown with a sufficiently slow decrease in the depth of this well with…
Electronic resonances can significantly enhance the photon-phonon coupling in cavity optomechanics, but are normally avoided due to absorption losses and dephasing by inhomogeneous broadening. We experimentally demonstrate that…
We study exciton radiative decay in a two-dimensional material, taking into account large thermal population in the non-radiative states, from which excitons are scattered into the radiative states by acoustic phonons. We find an analytical…
We report the efficient coherent photon scattering from a semiconductor quantum dot embedded in a pillar microcavity. We show that a surface acoustic wave can periodically modulate the energy levels of the quantum dot, but has a negligible…
We report the existence, symmetry breaking and other instabilities of dark polariton-solitons in semiconductor microcavities operating in the strong coupling regime. These half-light half-matter solitons are potential candidates for…
Exciton polaritons are hybrid particles of excitons (bound electron-hole pairs) and cavity photons, which are renowned for displaying Bose Einstein condensation and other coherent phenomena at elevated temperatures. However, their formation…
The first realization of a polariton condensate was recently achieved in a CdTe microcavity [Kasprzak et al., Nature 443, 409 (2006)]. We compare the experimental phase boundaries, for various detunings and cryostat temperatures, with those…
We consider the excitation of polariton wakefields due to a propagating source in a semiconductor micro cavity. We show that two kinds of wakes are possible, depending on the constituents fraction (either exciton or photon) of the polariton…
We present indications, that the wave function-stiffness condition during energy-relaxation as observed in single-phase state quantum systems manifests also in a single particle ensemble. This is demonstrated for exciton-polaritons in the…
Theoretical and numerical calculations of the optical absorption spectra of excitons interacting with longitudinal-optical phonons in quasi-2D polar semiconductors are presented. In II-VI semiconductor quantum wells, exciton binding energy…
We apply the fermion commutation technique for composite bosons to polariton-polariton scattering in semiconductor planar microcavities. Derivations are presented in a simple and physically transparent fashion. A procedure of…
We develop a microscopic mean-field theory describing the coexistence of Bose-Einstein condensates of upper and lower polaritons (UP/LP) in a semiconductor microcavity. Incorporating interbranch scattering within a modified polariton…
Exciton-polaritons can condense to a macroscopic quantum state through a non-equilibrium process of pumping and decay. In recent experiments, polariton condensates are used to observe, for a short time, nonlinear Josephson phenomena by…
Superposition states of circular currents of exciton-polaritons mimic the superconducting flux qubits. The phase of a polariton fluid must change by an integer number of $2\pi$, when going around the ring. If one introduces a ${\pi}$-phase…
Polarization-entangled photons are key resources for a wide range of protocols in quantum computation and quantum key distribution. Achieving a near-unity degree of polarization entanglement is essential for minimizing qubit error rates in…
The effect of electromagnetic retardation on the spectrum of edge plasmons in a semi-infinite two-dimensional electron system is considered. The problem is reduced to complicated integral equations for the potentials, which are solved upon…
We measured the dynamics of polariton parametric stimulated scattering in semiconductor microcavities, by time-resolving the amplified signal with 250 fs resolution. Our experiments demonstrate that the stimulation process is considerably…
Hybrid light-matter states, polaritons, are one of the central concepts in modern quantum optics and condensed matter physics. Polaritons emerge as a result of strong interaction between an optical mode and a material resonance, which is…
