Nonlinear Dynamics in the Formation of Molecular Polariton Condensates

Evan J Kumar, Katherine A Koch, Rishabh Kaurav +5

Exciton-polaritons - hybrid light-matter quasiparticles - can undergo Bose-Einstein-like condensation at elevated temperatures owing to their lower effective mass. This becomes eve…
