Excitons guided by polaritons
arXiv:2304.14951 · doi:10.1088/2058-9565/ad2377
Abstract
We show that an exciton on a discrete chain of sites can be guided by effective measurements induced by an ambient, non-equilibrium medium that is synchronised to the exciton transport. For experimental verification, we propose a hybrid cold atom platform, carrying the exciton as electronic excitation on a chain of atoms, which are surrounded by a slow light medium supporting polaritons. The chain is coupled to the medium through long-range Rydberg interactions. Despite the guiding mechanism being incoherent, the exciton pulse can be coherently transported with high fidelity. The implementation requires careful alignment of chain and medium but then no further time-dependent control. Our concept can be ported to other exciton and polariton carrying media or devices, and will enable switches and waveguides operating with the two quasi particles involved, as we demonstrate.
