Towards analogue black hole merger
Dmitry Solnyshkov, Ismaël Septembre, Guillaume Malpuech
We study the effects of the wavevector-dependent losses on polariton condensates. We demonstrate that because of these losses, a single vortex becomes a center of a convergent flow…
Spontaneous generation, enhanced propagation and optical imprinting of quantized vortices and dark solitons in a polariton superfluid: towards the control of quantum turbulence
Anne Maitre, Ferdinand Claude, Giovani Lerario +7
In resonantly pumped polariton superfluids we recently explored a new regime based on the bistability of the polariton system to enhance the propagation of polariton fluids up to m…
Topological turbulence in spin-orbit-coupled driven-dissipative quantum fluids of light generates high angular momentum states
S. V. Koniakhin, G. Malpuech, D. D. Solnyshkov +1
We demonstrate the formation of a high angular momentum turbulent state in an exciton-polariton quantum fluid with TE-TM Spin-Orbit Coupling (SOC). The transfer of particles from q…
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…
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…
Analog Kerr Black hole and Penrose effect in a Bose-Einstein Condensate
D. D. Solnyshkov, C. Leblanc, S. V. Koniakhin +2
Analog physics allows simulating inaccessible objects, such as black holes, in the lab. We propose to implement an acoustic Kerr black hole with quantized angular momentum in a pol…
Direct observation of Dirac cones and a flatband in a honeycomb lattice for polaritons
Thibaut Jacqmin, Iacopo Carusotto, Isabelle Sagnes +7
Two-dimensional lattices of coupled micropillars etched in a planar semiconductor microcavity offer a workbench to engineer the band structure of polaritons. We report experimental…
Hybrid Boltzmann Gross-Pitaevskii Theory of Bose-Einstein Condensation and Superfluidity in Open Driven-Dissipative Systems
D. D. Solnyshkov, H. Terças, K. Dini +1
We derive a theoretical model which describes Bose-Einstein condensation in an open driven-dissipative system. It includes external pumping of a thermal reservoir, finite life time…
Non-Abelian Gauge Fields in Photonic Cavities and Photonic Superfluids
H. Terças, H. Flayac, D. D. Solnyshkov +1
We show that the interplay between the structure anisotropy and the energy splitting between the TE and TM modes of a microcavity leads to the appearance of a gauge field for a pro…
Landau versus Spin Superfluidity in Spinor Bose-Einstein Condensates
H. Flayac, H. Tercas, D. D. Solnyshkov +1
We consider a spin-1/2 Bose-Einstein condensate prepared initially in a single spin projection. The two channels of excitations existing in such a system (namely density and spin w…
Propagation and amplification dynamics of 1D polariton condensates
E. Wertz, A. Amo, D. D. Solnyshkov +9
The dynamics of propagating polariton condensates in one-dimensional microcavities is investigated through time resolved experiments. We find a strong increase in the condensate in…

H. Terças, D. D. Solnyshkov, G. Malpuech
We consider a one-dimensional gas of half-solitons in a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate. We calculate the topological interaction potential between the half-solitons. Using a kinet…
Half-solitons in a polariton quantum fluid behave like magnetic monopoles
R. Hivet, H. Flayac, D. D. Solnyshkov +8
Monopoles are magnetic charges, point-like sources of magnetic field. Contrary to electric charges they are absent in Maxwell's equations and have never been observed as fundamenta…

Dimitrii Tanese, Dmitry Solnyshkov, Alberto Amo +8
We investigate the effects of disorder on the propagation of one-dimensional polariton condensates in semiconductor microcavities. We observe a strong suppression of the backscatte…
Oblique Half-Solitons and their Generation in Exciton-Polariton Condensates

We analyze theoretically the role of the exciton-phonon interactions in phenomena related to the Josephson effect between two spatially separated exciton and exciton-polariton cond…
Bose Einstein condensation and superfluidity in an open system: theory
G. Malpuech, D. Solnyshkov
We propose a new theoretical formalism which describes the Bose Einstein condensation of weakly interacting bosons with finite life time interacting with a thermal bath. We show th…
