Dirac Exciton-Polariton Condensates in a Triangular Lattice

ORAL

Abstract

Microcavity exciton-polaritons are quantum bose particles arising from the strong light-matter coupling between cavity photons and quantum well excitons. Recently, we have investigated the behavior of condensates in artificial lattice geometries in two-dimension (2D). Coherent $p$- and $d$-orbital state in a 2D square lattice is recently observed. Here we investigate exciton-polariton condensates at Dirac points formed in a 2D triangular lattice and experimental mapping of Dirac dispersion and discuss the interaction effect. We anticipate that the preparation of high-orbital condensates can be further extended to probe dynamical quantum phase transition in a controlled manner as quantum simulation applications.
