A self-contained quantum harmonic engine
Brendan Reid, Simon Pigeon, Mauro Antezza +1
We propose a system made of three quantum harmonic oscillators as a compact quantum engine for producing mechanical work. The three oscillators play respectively the role of the ho…
All-optical control of the quantum flow of a polariton superfluid
D. Sanvitto, S. Pigeon, A. Amo +12
While photons in vacuum are massless particles that do not interact with each other, significant photon-photon interactions appear in suitable nonlinear media, leading to novel hyd…
Polariton superfluids reveal quantum hydrodynamic solitons
A. Amo, S. Pigeon, D. Sanvitto +9
A quantum fluid passing an obstacle behaves differently from a classical one. When the flow is slow enough, the quantum gas enters a superfluid regime and neither whirlpools nor wa…
Light Engineering of the Polariton Landscape in Semiconductor Microcavities
A Amo, S Pigeon, C Adrados +4
We demonstrate a method to create potential barriers with polarized light beams for polaritons in semiconductor microcavities. The form of the barriers is engineered via the real s…
