An important goal of modern condensed-matter physics involves the search for states of
matter with emergent properties and desirable functionalities. Although the tools for material …

Polariton lasers emit coherent monochromatic light through a spontaneous emission
process. As a rare example of a system in which Bose–Einstein condensation and …

Molecular polaritons are quasiparticles resulting from the hybridization between molecular
and photonic modes. These composite entities, bearing characteristics inherited from both …

The introduction of bound states in the continuum (BICs) to photonics has revolutionized the
way cavity design and light–matter interactions are thought about in general. BICs can have …

Nanostructures of inorganic semiconductors have revolutionized many areas of electronics,
optoelectronics and photonics. The controlled synthesis of semiconductor nanostructures …

A photonic topological insulator features robust directional propagation and immunity to
defect perturbations of the edge/surface state. Exciton-polaritons, that is, the hybrid …

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 …

Recent experiments have demonstrated that light and matter can mix together to an extreme
degree, and previously uncharted regimes of light-matter interactions are currently being …

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 …

Revealing universal behaviours is a hallmark of statistical physics. Phenomena such as the
stochastic growth of crystalline surfaces and of interfaces in bacterial colonies, and spin …
