Photon avalanche triggered by a single photon in a bistable nonlinear optical cavity

Asian Selvakumaran, Anna Minguzzi, Iacopo Carusotto +1

We theoretically investigate the response of a coherently-driven nonlinear optical cavity to an additional incident single photon. Using a quantum description of the nonlinear dyna…

Emerging supersolidity from a polariton condensate in a photonic crystal waveguide

Dimitrios Trypogeorgos, Antonio Gianfrate, Manuele Landini +10

A supersolid is a counter-intuitive phase of matter where its constituent particles are arranged into a crystalline structure, yet they are free to flow without friction. This requ…
