We show theoretically that a lattice of exciton-polaritons can behave as a life-like cellular automaton when simultaneously excited by a continuous wave coherent field and a time-periodic sequence of non-resonant pulses. This provides a mechanism of realizing a range of highly sought spatiotemporal structures under the same conditions, including: discrete solitons, oscillating solitons, rotating solitons, breathers, soliton trains, guns, and choatic behaviour. These structures can survive in the system indefinitely, despite the presence of dissipation, and allow universal computation.

We study a system of microcavity pillars arranged into a kagome lattice. We show that polarization-dependent tunnel coupling of microcavity pillars leads to the emergence of the effective spin-orbit interaction consisting of the Dresselhaus and Rashb
a terms, similar to the case of polaritonic graphene studied earlier. Appearance of the effective spin-orbit interaction combined with the time-reversal symmetry-breaking resulting from the application of the magnetic field leads to the nontrivial topological properties of the Bloch bundles of polaritonic wavefunction. These are manifested in opening of the gap in the band structure and topological edge states localized on the boundary. Such states are analogs of the edge states arising in topological insulators. Our study of polarization properties of the edge states clearly demonstrate that opening of the gap is associated with the band inversion in the region of the Dirac points of the Brillouin zone where the two bands corresponding to polaritons of opposite polarizations meet. For one particular type of boundary we observe a highly nonlinear energy dispersion of the edge state which makes polaritonic kagome lattice a promising system for observation of edge state solitons.
Interacting Bosons, loaded in artificial lattices, have emerged as a modern platform to explore collective manybody phenomena, quantum phase transitions and exotic phases of matter as well as to enable advanced on chip simulators. Such experiments st
rongly rely on well-defined shaping the potential landscape of the Bosons, respectively Bosonic quasi-particles, and have been restricted to cryogenic, or even ultra-cold temperatures. On chip, the GaAs-based exciton-polariton platform emerged as a promising system to implement and study bosonic non-linear systems in lattices, yet demanding cryogenic temperatures. In our work, we discuss the first experiment conducted on a polaritonic lattice at ambient conditions: We utilize fluorescent proteins as an excitonic gain material, providing ultra-stable Frenkel excitons. We directly take advantage of their soft nature by mechanically shaping them in the photonic one-dimensional lattice. We demonstrate controlled loading of the condensate in distinct orbital lattice modes of different symmetries, and finally explore, as an illustrative example, the formation of a gap solitonic mode, driven by the interplay of effective interaction and negative effective mass in our lattice. The observed phenomena in our open dissipative system are comprehensively scrutinized by a nonequilibrium model of polariton condensation. We believe, that this work is establishing the organic polariton platform as a serious contender to the well-established GaAs platform for a wide range of applications relying on coherent Bosons in lattices, given its unprecedented flexibility, cost effectiveness and operation temperature.
We present a scheme to obtain anti-chiral edge states in an exciton-polariton honeycomb lattice with strip geometry, where the modes corresponding to both edges propagate in the same direction. Under resonant pumping the effect of a polariton condens
ate with nonzero velocity in one linear polarization is predicted to tilt the dispersion of polaritons in the other, which results in an energy shift between two Dirac cones and the otherwise flat edge states become tilted. Our simulations show that due to the spatial separation from the bulk modes the edge modes are robust against disorder.
We develop the theoretical formalism to calculate second-order correlations in dissipative exciton-polariton system and we propose intensity-intensity correlation experiments to reveal the physics of exciton-light coupling in semiconductor microcavit

Dirac particles, massless relativistic entities, obey linear energy dispersions and hold important implication in particle physics. Recent discovery of Dirac fermions in condensed matter systems including graphene and topological insulators raises gr
eat interests to explore relativistic properties associated with Dirac physics in solid-state materials. In addition, there are stimulating research activities to engineer Dirac paricles to eludicte their physical properties in a controllable setting. One of the successful platforms is the ultracold atom-optical lattice system, whose dynamics can be manipulated in a clean environment. A microcavity exciton-polariton-lattice system provides an alternative route with an advantage of forming high-orbital condensation in non-equilibrium conditions, which enables to explore novel quantum orbital order in two dimensions. Here we directly map the liner dispersions near the Dirac points, the vertices of the first hexagonal Brillouin zone from exciton-polariton condensates trapped in a triangular lattice. The associated velocity values are ~ 0.9 - 2*10^8 cm/s, which are consistent with the theoretical estimate 1*10^8 cm/s with a 2 mu m-lattice constant. We envision that the exciton-polariton condensates in lattices would be a promising solid-state platform, where the system order parameter can be accesses in both real and momentum spaces. We furthermore explore unique phenomena revealing quantum bose nature such as superfluidity and distinct features analogous to quantum Hall effect pertinent to time-reversal symmetry.
