Momentum-space non-Hermitian skin effect in an exciton-polariton system

Yow-Ming, Hu, Mateusz Król +11

Localization of a macroscopic number of eigenstates on a real-space boundary, known as the non-Hermitian skin effect, is one of the striking topological features emerging from non-…

Hybrid confinement techniques for polariton simulators

Johannes Düreth, Philipp Gagel, David Laibacher +13

Exciton-polariton III-V semiconductor microcavities provide a robust platform for emulating complex Hamiltonians, enabling topological photonics and quantum simulation for advanced…

Competing excitonic couplings as origin of mimicked phase transitions in zinc-phthalocyanine single crystals

Lisa Schraut-May, Sebastian Hammer, Luca Nils Philipp +9

The optical properties of molecular crystals are largely determined by the excitonic coupling of neighboring molecules. This coupling is extremely sensitive to the arrangement of a…

Probing Local Topology in a Disordered Higher-Order Topological Insulator

Johannes Düreth, Simon Widmann, Philipp Gagel +13

Higher-order topology is prized for its ability to realize lower-dimensional boundary states which are stable beyond fine-tuning. However, disorder presents a failure mechanism tha…

Direct experimental access to the bulk band inversion in a topological metamaterial

Simon Widmann, Johannes Düreth, Siddhartha Dam +9

Topological phases in exciton-polaritons and other metamaterial platforms have attracted significant attention due to their flexibility as Hamiltonian simulators. In previous works…

Observation of Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universal scaling in two dimensions

Simon Widmann, Siddhartha Dam, Johannes Düreth +10

Equilibrium and nonequilibrium states of matter can exhibit fundamentally different behavior. A key example is the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class in two spatial dimensions…
