Recently a new type of system exhibiting spontaneous coherence has emerged—the
exciton–polariton condensate. Exciton–polaritons (or polaritons for short) are bosonic …

This article reviews recent theoretical and experimental advances in the fundamental
understanding and active control of quantum fluids of light in nonlinear optical systems. In …

Conventional semiconductor laser emission relies on stimulated emission of photons,, which
sets stringent requirements on the minimum amount of energy necessary for its operation,. In …

Microcavities are semiconductor, metal, or dielectric structures providing optical confinement
in one, two or three dimensions. At the end of the 20th century, microcavities have attracted …

The field of nanophotonics focuses on the ability to confine light to nanoscale dimensions,
typically much smaller than the wavelength of light. The goal is to develop light-based …

We study spontaneous quantum coherence in an out of an equilibrium system, coupled to
multiple baths describing pum** and decay. For a range of parameters describing …

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is responsible for a range of spintronic and topological processes
in condensed matter. Here, we show photonic analogs of SOCs in exciton-polaritons and …

We theoretically investigate the strong coupling between a single molecule and a single
metallic nanoparticle. A theory suited for the quantum-mechanical description of surface …

We propose a novel mechanism for a nonequilibrium phase transition in a U (1)-broken
phase of an electron-hole-photon system, from a Bose-Einstein condensate of polaritons to …

Bosonic condensates of exciton polaritons (light-matter quasiparticles in a semiconductor)
provide a solid-state platform for studies of nonequilibrium quantum systems with a …
