Abstract 2D and 3D solitons and related states, such as quantum droplets, can appear in
optical systems, atomic Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) and liquid crystals, among other …

Solitons, nonlinear self-trapped wavepackets, have been extensively studied in many and
diverse branches of physics such as optics, plasmas, condensed matter physics, fluid …

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 …

Microcavity polaritons are composite half-light half-matter quasiparticles, which have
recently been demonstrated to exhibit rich physical properties, such as non-equilibrium …

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 …

Optical microcavities supporting exciton–polariton quasi-particles offer one of the most
powerful platforms for the investigation of the rapidly developing area of topological …

Localized structures (LSs) in dissipative media appear in various fields of natural science
such as biology, chemistry, plant ecology, optics and laser physics. The proposal for this …

Quantum simulations are one of the pillars of quantum technologies. These simulations
provide insight in fields as varied as high energy physics, many‐body physics, or cosmology …

We review the current hopes for applications of exciton–polaritons in semiconductor
microcavities. These quasi-particles have become distinguished in recent years for a variety …

Microcavity exciton‐polaritons are attractive quantum quasi‐particles resulting from strong
light–matter coupling in a quantum‐well‐cavity structure. They have become one of the most …
