Structured waves are ubiquitous for all areas of wave physics, both classical and quantum,
where the wavefields are inhomogeneous and cannot be approximated by a single plane …

Exciton-polaritons are hybrid light–matter quasiparticles formed by strongly interacting
photons and excitons (electron–hole pairs) in semiconductor microcavities,,. They have …

Semiconductor lasers are ubiquitous in modern science and technology for they are

The appearance of quantized vortices in the classical “rotating bucket” experiments of liquid
helium and ultracold dilute gases provides the means for fundamental and comparative …

Topological wave structures—phase vortices, skyrmions, merons, etc.—are attracting
enormous attention in a variety of quantum and classical wave fields. Surprisingly, these …

Microcavity polaritons are mixed light–matter quasiparticles with extraordinary nonlinear
properties, which can be easily accessed in photoluminescence experiments. Thanks to the …

Vortices are topological objects representing the circular motion of a fluid. With their
additional degree of freedom, the vorticity, they have been widely investigated in many …

We report on the experimental realization and characterization of a qubit analog with
semiconductor exciton-polaritons. In our system, a polaritonic condensate is confined by a …

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