Funded Activity Summary

Macroscopic quantum state engineering and transport in polaritonic devices. The project aims to demonstrate quantum state engineering and novel transport of hybrid light–matter particles in semiconductors. These particles, called exciton-polaritons, form macroscopic quantum states extending over microns, and display quantum behaviour on an accessible scale. They inherit ultrafast speeds and large nonlinearities from their light (photon) and matter (exciton) constituents, therefore representing an attractive platform for next-generation optoelectronics. This project is designed to enable us to probe fundamental quantum many-body physics on the macroscopic scale, as well as design and test functional components for polaritonic circuits with information storage, transmission, and sensing capabilities.
