Penrose-Onsager Criterion Validation in a One-Dimensional Polariton Condensate

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Konstantinos Lagoudakis, Francesco Manni

We perform quantum tomography on one-dimensional polariton condensates, spontaneously occurring in linear disorder valleys in a CdTe planar microcavity sample. By the use of optical interferometric techniques, we determine the first-order coherence functio ...

Dynamics of dark-soliton formation in a polariton quantum fluid

Polariton fluids have revealed huge potentialities in order to investigate the properties of bosonic fluids at the quantum scale. Among those properties, the opportunity to create dark as well as bright solitons has been demonstrated recently. In the prese ...

On the condensation of polaritons

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud

Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), the "fifth state of matter," have in fact been discovered by chance both in liquid helium and in superconductors. Since these early encounters, BECs have been sought for, both in atom vapors and in solids. Here we report o ...

BCS-BEC crossover in two dimensions: a Quantum Monte Carlo study

Gianluca Bertaina

We investigate the crossover from Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superfluidity to Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in a two-dimensional Fermi gas at T = 0 using the fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo method. We calculate the equation of state and the gap pa ...

Coherence properties of exciton polariton OPO condensates in one and two dimensions

We give an overview of the coherence properties of exciton-polariton condensates generated by optical parametric scattering. Different aspects of the first-order coherence (g((1))) have been investigated. The spatial coherence extension of a two-dimensiona ...

Condensate-Free Superfluid Induced by the Frustrated Proximity Effect

Frédéric Mila, Nicolas Laflorencie

Since the discovery of superfluidity in He-4 and Landau's phenomenological theory, the relationship between Bose condensation and superfluidity has been intensely debated. He-4 is known by now to be both superfluid and condensed at low temperature, and mor ...

Soliton Instabilities and Vortex Street Formation in a Polariton Quantum Fluid

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Gaël Nardin, Gabriele Grosso, François Morier-Genoud

Exciton polaritons have been shown to be an optimal system in order to investigate the properties of bosonic quantum fluids. We report here on the observation of dark solitons in the wake of engineered circular obstacles and their decay into streets of qua ...

Transverse heat transfer coefficient in the dual channel ITER TF CICCs Part I: Analysis of steady state temperature profiles resulting from annular heating

Two ITER IF dual channel Cable-in-Conduit Conductors (CICCs) have been tested in the SULTAN test facility. The samples were heated either by foil heaters mounted on the outside of the conductor jacket or by induced AC losses. The steady-state temperature r ...

Polariton Superfluids Reveal Quantum Hydrodynamic Solitons

Romuald Houdré, Cristiano Ciuti

A quantum fluid passing an obstacle behaves differently from a classical one. When the flow is slow enough, the quantum gas enters a superfluid regime, and neither whirlpools nor waves form around the obstacle. For higher flow velocities, it has been predi ...
