Landau damping and mode-selective instability of a vortex gas
H. Terças, J. L. Figueiredo, J. T +1
We show that a collisionless point-vortex gas behaves as a genuine Vlasov system. Starting from the non-canonical Hamiltonian structure of point-vortex dynamics, we derive a reduce…

Photon Bose-Einstein Condensation in Semiconductors: A Quantum Kinetic Theory
José L. Figueiredo, Ross C. Schofield, Ming Fu +4
Photon condensation in semiconductor microcavities is a transformative technique for engineering quantum states of light at room temperature by tailoring strong but incoherent ligh…

Supersolid light in a semiconductor microcavity
J. L. Figueiredo, J. T. Mendonça, H. Terças
Supersolidity - simultaneous superfluid flow and crystalline order - has been realized in quantum atomic systems but remains unexplored in purely photonic platforms operating at we…
