Exciton-Tunable Phase Control and Superstrong Coupling Through Multimode Polariton Engineering in Planar Waveguides

Johannes Bürger, Erika Cortese, Simone Di Muzio +3

Strong light-matter coupling in optical waveguides provides a versatile platform for engineering hybrid polaritonic modes and their dispersion. Here we investigate multimode excito…

Laser Stabilised Ionising Transitions

Erika Cortese, Simone De Liberato

We investigate a ionising electronic transition under resonant pumping. We demonstrate that, above a critical value of the pump intensity, a novel metastable electronic bound state…

Sculpting ultrastrong light-matter coupling through spatial matter structuring

Joshua Mornhinweg, Laura Diebel, Maike Halbhuber +6

The central theme of cavity quantum electrodynamics is the coupling of a single optical mode with a single matter excitation, leading to a doublet of cavity polaritons which govern…

An engineered planar plasmonic reflector for polaritonic mode confinement

Shima Rajabali, Josefine Enkner, Erika Cortese +4

It was recently demonstrated that, in deep subwavelength gap resonators coupled to two-dimensional electron gases, coupling to propagating plasmons can lead to energy leakage and p…

Positronium density measurements using polaritonic effects

Erika Cortese, David B. Cassidy, Simone De Liberato

Recent experimental advances in Positronium (Ps) physics have made it possible to produce dense Ps ensembles in which Ps-Ps interactions may occur, leading to the production of Ps$…

Perspective on real-space nanophotonic field manipulation using non-perturbative light-matter coupling

Erika Cortese, Joshua Mornhinweg, Rupert Huber +2

The achievement of large values of the light-matter coupling in nanoengineered photonic structures can lead to multiple photonic resonances contributing to the final properties of…

Exact solution of polaritonic systems with arbitrary light and matter frequency-dependent losses

Erika Cortese, Simone De Liberato

In this paper we perform the exact diagonalization of a light-matter strongly coupled system taking into account arbitrary losses via both energy dissipation in the optically activ…

Polaritonic non-locality in ultrastrong light-matter coupling

Shima Rajabali, Erika Cortese, Mattias Beck +3

Sub-wavelength electromagnetic field localization has been central in photonic research in the last decade, allowing to enhance sensing capabilities as well as increasing the coupl…

Excitons bound by photon exchange

Erika Cortese, Linh Tran, Jean-Michel Manceau +5

In contrast to interband excitons in undoped quantum wells, doped quantum wells do not display sharp resonances due to excitonic bound states. In these systems the effective Coulom…

Strong coupling of ionising transitions

Erika Cortese, Iacopo Carusotto, Raffaele Colombelli +1

We demonstrate that a ionising transition can be strongly coupled to a photonic resonance. The strong coupling manifests itself with the appearance of a narrow optically active res…

Polariton spectrum of the Dicke-Ising model

Erika Cortese, Luigi Garziano, Simone De Liberato

The Dicke-Ising model describes cavity quantum electrodynamics setups in which dipoles couple not only with the photonic cavity field but also to each other through dipole-dipole i…

Collective optomechanical effects in cavity quantum electrodynamics

Erika Cortese, Pavlos Lagoudakis, Simone De Liberato

We investigate a cavity quantum electrodynamic effect, where the alignment of two-dimensional freely rotating optical dipoles is driven by their collective coupling to the cavity f…
