Key properties of quantum materials stem from dynamic interaction chains that connect
stable electronic quasiparticles through short-lived coherences, which are difficult to control …

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

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

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 …

The modification and control of exciton–photon interactions in semiconductors is of both
fundamental,,, and practical interest, being of direct relevance to the design of improved light …

The recent development of techniques to produce optical semiconductor cavities of very
high quality has prepared the stage for observing cavity quantum-electrodynamic effects in …

A phase transition from a classical thermal mixed state to a quantum-mechanical pure state
of exciton polaritons is observed in a GaAs multiple quantum-well microcavity from the …

We experimentally demonstrate resonant coupling between photons and excitons in
microcavities which can efficiently generate enormous single-pass optical gains …

The physics of strong coupling phenomena in semiconductor quantum microcavities is
reviewed. This is a relatively new field with most important developments having occurred in …

We study the polariton dynamics in a semiconductor microcavity for small temperatures and
zero exciton-cavity detuning, including the exciton-exciton and exciton-phonon scatterings …
