Reshaping the Jaynes-Cummings ladder with Majorana bound states

We study the optical properties of a hybrid device composed by a quantum dot (QD) resonantly coupled to a photonic mode of an optical microcavity and a Majorana nanowire: a topological superconducting segment hosting Majorana bound states (MBSs) at the opposite ends. In the regime of strong light-matter coupling, it is demonstrated that the leakage of the Majorana mode into the QD opens new optical transitions between polaritonic states formed due to hybridisation of material excitation with cavity photons, which leads to the reshaping of the Jaynes-Cummings ladder and can lead to the formation of a robust single-peak at cavity eigenfrequency in the emission spectrum. Moreover, weak satellite peaks in the low and high frequency regions are revealed for the distinct cases of highly isolated MBSs, overlapped MBSs and MBSs not well localized at the nanowire ends.

Accessing the degree of Majorana nonlocality in a quantum dot-optical microcavity system

We explore the tunneling transport properties of a quantum dot embedded in an optical microcavity and coupled to a semiconductor-superconductor one-dimensional nanowire (Majorana nanowire) hosting Majorana zero modes (MZMs) at their edges. Conductance profiles reveal that strong light-matter coupling can be employed to distinguish between the cases of highly nonlocal MZMs, overlapped MZMs and MZMs with less degree of nonlocal feature. Moreover, we show that it is possible to access the degree of Majorana nonlocality (topological quality factor) by changing the dot spectrum through photon-induced transitions tuned by an external pump applied to the microcavity.

Machine learning of phase transitions in nonlinear polariton lattices

Polaritonic lattices offer a unique testbed for studying nonlinear driven-dissipative physics. They show qualitative changes of a steady state as a function of system parameters, which resemble non-equilibrium phase transitions. Unlike their equilibrium counterparts, these transitions cannot be characterised by conventional statistical physics methods. Here, we study a lattice of square-arranged polariton condensates with nearest-neighbour coupling, and simulate the polarisation (pseudo-spin) dynamics of the polariton lattice, observing regions with distinct steady-state polarisation patterns. We classify these patterns using machine learning methods and determine the boundaries separating different regions. First, we use unsupervised data mining techniques to sketch the boundaries of phase transitions. We then apply learning by confusion, a neural network-based method for learning labels in the dataset, and extract the polaritonic phase diagram. Our work takes a step towards AI-enabled studies of polaritonic systems.

Anomalous Exciton Hall Effect

It is well known that electrically neutral excitons can still be affected by crossed electric and magnetic fields that make them move in a direction perpendicular to both fields. We show that a similar effect appears in the absence of external electric fields, in the case of scattering of an exciton flow by charged impurities in the presence of the external magnetic field. As a result, the exciton flow changes the direction of its propagation that may be described in terms of the Hall conductivity for excitons. We develop a theory of this effect, which we refer to as the anomalous exciton Hall effect, to distinguish it from the exciton Hall effect that arises due to the valley selective exciton transport in transition metal dichalcogenides. According to our estimations, the effect is relatively weak for optically active or bright excitons in conventional GaAs quantum wells, but it becomes significant for optically inactive or dark excitons, because of the difference of the lifetimes. This makes the proposed effect a convenient tool for spatial separation of dark and bright excitons.

Dynamics of spin polarization in tilted polariton rings

We have observed the effect of pseudo magnetic field originating from the polaritonic analog of spin-orbit coupling (TE$-$TM splitting) on a polariton condensate in a ring-shaped microcavity. The effect gives rise to a stable four-leaf pattern around the ring as seen from the linear polarization measurements of the condensate photoluminescence. This pattern is found to originate from the interplay of the cavity potential, energy relaxation, and TE-TM splitting in the ring. Our observations are compared to the dissipative one-dimensional spinor Gross-Pitaevskii equation with the TE-TM splitting energy which shows good qualitative agreement.

Tunable optical nonlinearity for TMD polaritons dressed by a Fermi sea

We study a system of a transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayer placed in an optical resonator, where strong light-matter coupling between excitons and photons is achieved. We present quantitative theory of the nonlinear optical response for exciton-polaritons for the case of doped TMD monolayer, and analyze in detail two sources of nonlinearity. The first nonlinear response contribution stems from the Coulomb exchange interaction between excitons. The second contribution comes from the reduction of Rabi splitting that originates from phase space filling at increased exciton concentration and the composite nature of excitons. We demonstrate that both nonlinear contributions are enhanced in the presence of free electrons. As free electron concentration can be routinely controlled by an externally applied gate voltage, this opens a way of electrical tuning of the nonlinear optical response.

Resonant excitation of acoustic waves in one-dimensional exciton-polariton systems

We analyze the interaction of exciton-polariton condensates in a one-dimensional semiconductor microcavity with acoustic phonons. We consider the case of a coherently pumped condensate and demonstrate that upon passing of a certain threshold the parametric instability in the system leads to the generation of a coherent acoustic wave and additional polariton harmonics. The process is strongly affected by exciton-exciton interactions which lead to the appearance of the effects of the bistability and hysteresis in the system.

Topological Metamaterials based on polariton rings

Chern insulator phase is shown to emerge in two-dimensional arrays of polariton rings where time-reversal symmetry is broken due to the application of an out-of-plane magnetic field. The interplay of Zeeman splitting with the photonic analog of spin-orbit coupling (TE-TM splitting) inherently present in this system leads to the appearance of synthetic U(1) gauge field and the opening of topologically nontrivial spectral gaps. This results in the onset of topologically protected chiral edge states similar to those forming in quantum Hall effect. In one dimensional zigzag arrays of polariton rings edge states similar to those appearing in Su-SchriefferHeeger (SSH) model are formed.

Quantum ring with the Rashba spin-orbit interaction in the regime of strong light-matter coupling

We developed the theory of electronic properties of semiconductor quantum rings with the Rashba spin-orbit interaction irradiated by an off-resonant high-frequency electromagnetic field (dressing field). Within the Floquet theory of periodically driven quantum systems, it is demonstrated that the dressing field drastically modifies all electronic characteristics of the rings, including spin-orbit coupling, effective electron mass and optical response. Particularly, the present effect paves the way to controlling the spin polarization of electrons with light in prospective ring-shaped spintronic devices.

Periodic array of quantum rings strongly coupled to circularly polarized light as a topological insulator

We demonstrate theoretically that a strong high-frequency circularly polarized electromagnetic field can turn a two-dimensional periodic array of interconnected quantum rings into a topological insulator. The elaborated approach is applicable to calculate and analyze the electron energy spectrum of the array, the energy spectrum of the edge states and the corresponding electronic densities. As a result, the present theory paves the way to optical control of the topological phases in ring-based mesoscopic structures.
