Condensation of semiconductor microcavity exciton polaritons.
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 decrease of the second-order coherence function. Supporting evidence is obtained from the observation of a nonlinear threshold behavior in the pump-intensity dependence of the emission, a polariton-like dispersion relat...
متن کاملAngular dependence of giant Zeeman effect for semi-magnetic cavity polaritons
The observation of spin-related phenomena of microcavity polaritons has been limited due to weak Zeeman effect of non-magnetic semiconductors. We demonstrate that the incorporation of magnetic ions into quantum wells placed in a non-magnetic microcavity results in enhanced effects of magnetic field on exciton-polaritons. We show that in such a structure the Zeeman splitting of exciton-polariton...
متن کاملBose-Einstein condensation and superfluidity of trapped polaritons in graphene and quantum wells embedded in a microcavity.
The theory for spontaneous coherence of short-lived quasiparticles in two-dimensional excitonic systems is reviewed, in particular, quantum wells (QWs) and graphene layers (GLs) embedded in microcavities. Experiments with polaritons in an optical microcavity have already shown evidence of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in the lowest quantum state in a harmonic trap. The theory of BEC and supe...
متن کاملQuantum degeneracy of microcavity polaritons.
We investigate experimentally one of the main features of a quantum fluid constituted by exciton polaritons in a semiconductor microcavity, that is, quantum degeneracy of a macroscopic fraction of the particles. We show that resonant pumping allows us to create a macroscopic population of polaritons in one quantum state. Furthermore, we demonstrate that parametric polariton scattering results i...
متن کاملLong-range spin-qubit interaction mediated by microcavity polaritons.
We study the optically induced coupling between spins mediated by polaritons in a planar microcavity. In the strong-coupling regime, the vacuum Rabi splitting introduces anisotropies in the spin coupling. Moreover, due to their photonlike mass, polaritons provide an extremely long spin coupling range. This suggests the realization of two-qubit all-optical quantum operations within tens of picos...
