We present a method for determining correlations in a gas of indirect excitons in a semiconductor quantum well structure. The method involves subjecting the excitons to a periodic electrostatic potential that causes modulations of the exciton density and photoluminescence (PL). Experimentally measured amplitudes of energy and intensity modulations of exciton PL serve as an input to a theoretical estimate of the exciton correlation parameter and temperature. We also present a proof-of-principle demonstration of the method for determining the correlation parameter and discuss how its accuracy can be improved.

A scalable tight-binding model is applied for large-scale quantum transport calculations in clean graphene subject to electrostatic superlattice potentials, including two types of graphene superlattices: moire patterns due to the stacking of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) lattices, and gate-controllable superlattices using a spatially modulated gate capacitance. In the case of graphene/hBN moire superlattices, consistency between our transport simulation and experiment is satisfactory at zero and low magnetic field, but breaks down at high magnetic field due to the adopted simple model Hamiltonian that does not comprise higher-order terms of effective vector potential and Dirac mass terms. In the case of gate-controllable superlattices, no higher-order terms are involved, and the simulations are expected to be numerically exact. Revisiting a recent experiment on graphene subject to a gated square superlattice with periodicity of 35 nm, our simulations show excellent agreement, revealing the emergence of multiple extra Dirac cones at stronger superlattice modulation.
Exciton-polaritons are mixed light-matter quasiparticles. We have developed a statistical model describing stochastic exciton-photon transitions within a condensate of exciton polaritons. We show that the exciton-photon correlator depends on the hidd en variable which characterizes the rate of exciton-photon transformations in the condensate. We discuss implications of this effect for the quantum statistics of photons emitted by polariton lasers.
We study transport of indirect excitons in GaAs/AlGaAs coupled quantum wells in linear lattices created by laterally modulated gate voltage. The localization-delocalization transition (LDT) for transport across the lattice was observed with reducing lattice amplitude or increasing exciton density. The exciton interaction energy at the transition is close to the lattice amplitude. These results are consistent with the model, which attributes the LDT to the interaction-induced percolation of the exciton gas through the external potential. We also discuss applications of the lattice potentials for estimating the strength of disorder and exciton interaction.
One of the recently established paradigms in the study of condensed matter physics is examining a systems behaviour in artificially constructed potentials. This allows one to obtain insight on a range of physical phenomena which may require non-feasi ble or hardly achievable experimental conditions. Here, we devise and implement an all-optical approach to a system of exciton-polaritons in semiconductor microcavities to load the particles into desired periodic potentials. We demonstrate a two-dimensional system of polariton condensates in two regimes - lattices of point scatterers, and confined states through non-resonant pumping with Gaussian beams arranged in a conventional, and an inverse Lieb configuration. We utilize energy tomography on the coherent polariton emission to reveal the intricate band structure of polaritonic Lieb lattices, and report on fully optically generated polariton condensation in S-, and dispersionless P-band states.
We measure the full photon-number distribution emitted from a Bose condensate of microcavity exciton-polaritons confined in a micropillar cavity. The statistics are acquired by means of a photonnumber resolving transition edge sensor. We directly obs erve that the photon-number distribution evolves with the non-resonant optical excitation power from geometric to quasi-Poissonian statistics, which is canonical for a transition from a thermal to a coherent state. Moreover, the photon-number distribution allows evaluating the higher-order photon correlations, shedding further light on the coherence formation and phase transition of the polariton condensate. The experimental data is analyzed in terms of thermal coherent states which allows one to directly extract the thermal and coherent fraction from the measured distributions. These results pave the way for a full understanding of the contribution of interactions in light-matter condensates in the coherence buildup at threshold.
