Engineering strong chiral light-matter interactions in a waveguide-coupled nanocavity
D. Hallett, A. P. Foster, D. M. Whittaker +2
Spin-dependent, directional light-matter interactions form the basis of chiral quantum networks. In the solid state, quantum emitters commonly possess circularly polarised optical…
Effect of photonic spin-orbit coupling on the topological edge modes of a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain
C. E. Whittaker, E. Cancellieri, P. M. Walker +7
We study the effect of photonic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in micropillar lattices on the topological edge states of a one-dimensional chain with a zigzag geometry, corresponding to…
Quantum optics of nonlinear systems in cascade
Giuseppe Buonaiuto, Emiliano Cancellieri, David M. Whittaker
In this letter, we investigate the quantum optical properties of driven-dissipative nonlinear systems in a cascade configuration. We show that pumping a nonlinear system with a sta…
Exciton Polaritons in a Two-Dimensional Lieb Lattice with Spin-Orbit Coupling
C. E. Whittaker, E. Cancellieri, P. M. Walker +10
We study exciton-polaritons in a two-dimensional Lieb lattice of micropillars. The energy spectrum of the system features two flat bands formed from and photonic orbi…
Polariton pattern formation and photon statistics of the associated emission
C. E. Whittaker, B. Dzurnak, O. A. Egorov +8
We report on the formation of a diverse family of transverse spatial polygon patterns in a microcavity polariton fluid under coherent driving by a blue-detuned pump. Patterns emerg…
Optical source of individual pairs of color-conjugated photons
Y. Sherkunov, D. M. Whittaker, V. Falko
We demonstrate that Kerr nonlinearity in optical circuits can lead to both resonant four-wave mixing and photon blockade, which can be used for high-yield generation of high-fideli…
