Generation, propagation and control of quantized vortices and dark solitons in polariton superfluids
Anne Maître
Exciton-polaritons are quasi-particles arising from the strong coupling regime between excitons and photons. In planar microcavitites, phenomena such as superfluidity or Bose-Einst…
Taming the snake instabilities in a polariton superfluid
Ferdinand Claude, Sergei V. Koniakhin, Anne Maître +8
The dark solitons observed in a large variety of nonlinear media are unstable against the modulational (snake) instabilities and can break in vortex streets. This behavior has been…
Microcavity Polaritons for Quantum simulation
Thomas Boulier, Maxime J. Jacquet, Anne Maître +8
Quantum simulations are one of the pillars of quantum technologies. These simulations provide insight in fields as varied as high energy physics, many-body physics, or cosmology to…
Parallel dark soliton pair in a bistable 2D exciton-polariton superfluid
Giovanni Lerario, Sergei V. Koniakhin, Anne Maître +7
Collective excitations, such as vortex-antivortex and dark solitons, are among the most fascinating effects of macroscopic quantum states. However, 2D dark solitons are unstable an…
Polariton fluids for analogue gravity physics
M. J. Jacquet, T. Boulier, F. Claude +8
Analogue gravity enables the study of fields on curved spacetimes in the laboratory. There are numerous experimental platforms in which amplification at the event horizon or the er…
Vortex stream generation and enhanced propagation in a polariton superfluid
Giovanni Lerario, Anne Maître, Rajiv Boddeda +4
In this work, we implement a new experimental configuration which exploits the specific properties of the optical bistability exhibited by the polariton system and we demonstrate t…
