Exploring the properties of strongly correlated systems through quantum simulation with photons, cold atoms or polaritons represents an active area of research. In fact, the latter permits to shed the light on the behavior of complex systems which are hardly to be addressed in the laboratory or tackled numerically. In this study we discuss an analogue of graphene formed by exciton-polariton spin vortices arranged into a hexagonal lattice. We show how the graphene-type dispersion at different energy scales arises for several types of exciton-polariton spin vortices. In contrast to previous studies of exciton-polaritons in artificial lattices, the use of exciton-polariton spin vortex modes offers a more rich playground for quantum simulations. In particular, we demonstrate that the sign of the nearest neighbor coupling strength can be inverted.

Topological materials rely on engineering global properties of their bulk energy bands called topological invariants. These invariants, usually defined over the entire Brillouin zone, are related to the existence of protected edge states. However, fo
r an important class of Hamiltonians corresponding to 2D lattices with time-reversal and chiral symmetry (e.g. graphene), the existence of edge states is linked to invariants that are not defined over the full 2D Brillouin zone, but on reduced 1D sub-spaces. Here, we demonstrate a novel scheme based on a combined real- and momentum-space measurement to directly access these 1D topological invariants in lattices of semiconductor microcavities confining exciton-polaritons. We extract these invariants in arrays emulating the physics of regular and critically compressed graphene sucht that Dirac cones have merged. Our scheme provides a direct evidence of the bulk-edge correspondence in these systems, and opens the door to the exploration of more complex topological effects, for example involving disorder and interactions.
We study theoretically optomechanical interactions in a semiconductor microcavity with embedded quantum well under the optical pumping by a Bessel beam, carrying a non-zero orbital momentum. Due to the transfer of orbital momentum from light to phono
ns, the microcavity can act as an acoustic circulator: it rotates the propagation direction of the incident phonon by a certain angle clockwise or anticlockwise. Due to the optomechanical heating and cooling effects, the circulator can also function as an acoustic laser emitting sound with nonzero angular momentum. Our calculations demonstrate the potential of semiconductor microcavities for compact integrable optomechanical devices.
We study theoretically the ground states of topological defects in a spinor four-component condensate of cold indirect excitons. We analyze possible ground state solutions for different configurations of vortices and half-vortices. We show that if on
ly Rashba or Dreselhaus spin-orbit interaction (SOI) for electrons is present the stable states of topological defects can represent a cylindrically symmetric half-vortex or half vortex-antivortex pairs, or a non-trivial pattern with warped vortices. In the presence of both of Rashba and Dresselhaus SOI the ground state of a condensate represents a stripe phase and vortex type solutions become unstable.
A lattice of locally bistable driven-dissipative cavity polaritons is found theoretically to effectively simulate the Ising model, also enabling an effective transverse field. We benchmark the system performance for spin glass problems, and study the
scaling of the ground state energy deviation and success probability as a function of system size. As particular examples we consider NP-hard problems embedded in the Ising model, namely graph partitioning and the knapsack problem. We find that locally bistable polariton networks act as classical simulators for solving optimization problems, which can potentially present an improvement within the exponential complexity class.
The charge and spin diffusion equations taking into account spin-flip and spin-transfer torque were numerically solved using a finite element method in complex non-collinear geometry with strongly inhomogeneous current flow. As an illustration, spin-
dependent transport through a non-magnetic nanoconstriction separating two magnetic layers was investigated. Unexpected results such as vortices of spin-currents in the vicinity of the nanoconstriction were obtained. The angular variations of magnetoresistance and spin-transfer torque are strongly influenced by the structure geometry.
