Exciting polaritons with quantum light

JC López Carreño, C Sánchez Muñoz, D Sanvitto… - Physical Review Letters, 2015 - APS
We discuss the excitation of polaritons—strongly coupled states of light and matter—by
quantum light, instead of the usual laser or thermal excitation. As one illustration of the new …
