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…
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…
Topologically tunable polaritons based on two-dimensional crystals in a photonic lattice
Lukas Lackner, Oleg A. Egorov, Anthony Ernzerhof +8
Topological photonics is an emergent research discipline which interlinks fundamental aspects of photonics, information processing and solid-state physics. Exciton-polaritons are a…
Topological Optical Waveguiding of Exciton-Polariton Condensates
Johannes Beierlein, Oleg A. Egorov, Philipp Gagel +9
One-dimensional models with topological non-trivial band structures are a simple and effective way to study novel and exciting concepts in topological photonics. In this work we ar…
An electrically pumped topological polariton laser
Philipp Gagel, Oleg A. Egorov, Franciszek Dzimira +9
With a seminal work of Raghu and Haldane in 2008, concepts of topology have been successfully introduced in a wide range of optical systems, emulating specific lattice Hamiltonians…
