The coherent exchange of energy between materials and optical fields leads to strong light–
matter interactions and so-called polaritonic states with intriguing properties, halfway …

Interactions between light and matter play an instrumental role in spectroscopy, sensing,
quantum information processing and lasers. In most of these applications, light is considered …

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

It is possible to modify the chemical and physical properties of molecules, not only through
chemical modifications but also by coupling molecules strongly to light. More intriguingly …

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

Bose–Einstein condensation is a remarkable manifestation of quantum statistics and
macroscopic quantum coherence. Superconductivity and superfluidity have their origin in …

We report exciton-polariton condensation in a new family of fully hybrid ZnO-based
microcavity demonstrating the best-quality ZnO material available (a bulk substrate), a large …

From a theoretical point of view, we discuss a variety of phenomena linked to the spin and
polarization degree of freedom of exciton-polaritons in semiconductor microcavities. We start …

We revisit the exciton mechanism of superconductivity in the framework of microcavity
physics, replacing virtual excitons as a binding agent of Cooper pairs by excitations of an …

We observe a spontaneous parity breaking bifurcation to a ferromagnetic state in a spatially
trapped exciton-polariton condensate. At a critical bifurcation density under nonresonant …
