In this brief review, we summarize and elaborate on some of the nomenclature of polaritonic
phenomena and systems as they appear in the literature on quantum materials and …

Abstract The study of Bose–Einstein condensation effects in photonic systems has revealed
a rich phenomenology related to spontaneous coherence generation in driven-dissipative …

Polaritons are quasiparticles that form in semiconductors when an elementary excitation
such as an exciton or a phonon interacts sufficiently strongly with light. In particular, exciton …

Recent experimental developments in diverse areas—ranging from cold atomic gases to
light-driven semiconductors to microcavity arrays—move systems into the focus which are …

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 …

Although optical technology provides the best solution for the transmission of information, all-
optical devices must satisfy several qualitative criteria to be used as logic elements. 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 …

We have created polaritons in a harmonic potential trap analogous to atoms in optical traps.
The trap can be loaded by creating polaritons 50 micrometers from its center that are …

We observe a room-temperature low-threshold transition to a coherent polariton state in bulk
GaN microcavities in the strong-coupling regime. Nonresonant pulsed optical pum** …
