This chapter reviews the solid-state realization of synthetic polariton matter using exciton polaritons in semiconductor microcavities, explaining how cavity confinement and strong coupling enable the engineering of artificial crystals with tailored band structures and interactions to explore many-body physics from mean-field to quantum regimes.
This study demonstrates that Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics based on density functional-based tight-binding accurately captures low-frequency spectral density features arising from both slow intramolecular vibrations and protein fluctuations in bacteriochlorophyll molecules, outperforming classical force fields and normal mode analysis across various light-harvesting complexes.
This study reveals that exciton-polariton condensation near the threshold is not a static phase transition but a dynamical process characterized by stochastic hopping between condensed and non-condensed states, where coherence progressively builds up despite strong temporal fluctuations.
This study demonstrates that electrostatic doping in a gated WSe monolayer induces a strong, nontrivial, and asymmetric dependence in the magnetic-field brightening rates of dark excitons and trions, revealing distinct carrier interaction mechanisms that govern the optical response of doped transition metal dichalcogenides.
This paper demonstrates that binary logic gates (NOT and AND) can be realized in Kane-Mele nanostructures by using local electrostatic and magnetic perturbations to controllably reroute topological edge currents, offering a robust and transparent platform for post-CMOS device concepts.
Using magneto-optical terahertz spectroscopy, the study demonstrates that reducing the inter-disk distance in a square lattice of GaAs quantum well disks systematically modifies the magnetoplasmon dispersion due to increasing inter-disk coupling.
This paper investigates the linear transport signatures of dispersive pseudo-Landau levels in strained, tilted Dirac systems using the semiclassical Boltzmann framework, revealing finite longitudinal responses and validating the Mott relation and Wiedemann-Franz law to provide a unified framework for understanding strain-engineered quantum transport.
This paper presents a 3D-integration process using dense indium bump interconnects and Niobium Nitride thin films to successfully fabricate a hybrid circuit-QED device that achieves high-quality resonators, record-fast dispersive charge readout, and strong spin-photon coupling for silicon MOS spin qubits.
This study reports the successful creation of a stable system in which water molecules are permanently confined within 4 nm graphene nanofolds via a novel nitrocellulose-assisted transfer method, enabling researchers to investigate anomalous freezing phase transitions using cryogenic Raman spectroscopy combined with molecular dynamics simulations.
This paper demonstrates reliable, current-induced electrical switching of the Néel vector in -FeO bilayers using sub-nanosecond electrical pulses, suggesting that thermally-assisted spin-orbit torque plays a key role in the process.
