Fusing Light With Heat: Polaritons for Nanoscale Thermal Transport & Sensing
Online Presentations | 07 Oct 2021 | Contributor(s):: Thomas Beechem
Light exhibits a wave nature. Phonons do too. Within the infrared portion of the spectrum, these differing “waves” can interact to form hybrid energy carriers called polaritons. Polaritons, in turn, provide fundamental advantages for optical functionality and...

Rydberg Polaritons: Driven-Dissipative Dynamics at Strong-Interaction Limit
Online Presentations | 28 Oct 2020 | Contributor(s):: Hadiseh Alaeian
In this seminar, I will talk about the first- and second-order quantum dissipative phase transitions of a three-modecavity with a Hubbard interaction. In both types, there is a mean-field (MF) limit-cycle phase where the local U(1)-symmetry and the time-translational symmetry (TTS) of the...

Superfluids of Light: Bose-Einstein Condensation of Polaritons
Online Presentations | 04 Feb 2019 | Contributor(s):: David W. Snoke
In this talk I will review some of this past work and present recent results, including oscillation of a polariton condensate in a one-dimensional ring trap, and polariton drag, in which electrons directly push photons in a wire.
