Hysteresis in linearly polarized nonresonantly driven exciton-polariton condensates
It is shown that a condensate of microcavity exciton-polaritons exhibits bistability between its two orthogonal linearly polarized components for varying nonresonant excitation power. A non-Hermitian splitting of these components results in two parity-symmetric fixed-point solutions of opposite polarization, making up the hysteresis branches. These solutions correspond to the lowest threshold linearly polarized mode, which dominates at low pump powers, and a cross-polarized mode, which appears due to nonlinear pinning at higher excitation powers. The spin symmetry of the solutions extends the nonresonant bistable operation of polariton condensates to the entire equatorial plane of the Poincaré sphere. The results pave the way towards development of tailored bistable, linearly polarized, coherent sources of light

Screening nearest-neighbor interactions in networks of exciton-polariton condensates through spin orbit coupling
We study the modification of the spatial coupling parameter between interacting ballistic exciton-polariton condensates in the presence of photonic spin-orbit coupling appearing from transverse electric-transverse magnetic (TE-TM) splitting in planar semiconductor microcavities. We propose a strategy to make the coupling strength between next-nearest neighbors stronger than between nearest neighbors, which inverts the conventional idea of the spatial coupling hierarchy between sites. Our strategy relies on the dominantly populated high-momentum components in the ballistic condensates which, in the presence of TE-TM splitting, lead to rapid radial precession of the polariton pseudospin. As a consequence, condensate pairs experience distance-periodic screening of their interaction strength, severely modifying their synchronization and condensation threshold solutions.</p

Synchronization in optically trapped polariton Stuart-Landau networks
We demonstrate tunable dissipative interactions between optically trapped exciton-polariton condensates. We apply annular shaped nonresonant optical beams to both generate and confine each condensate to their respective traps, pinning their natural frequencies. Coupling between condensates is realized through the finite escape rate of coherent polaritons from the traps leading to robust phase locking with neighboring condensates. The coupling is controlled by adjusting the polariton propagation distance between neighbors. This permits us to map out regimes of both strong and weak dissipative coupling, with the former characterized by clear in-phase and antiphase synchronization of the condensates. With robust single-energy occupation governed by dissipative coupling of optically trapped polariton condensates, we present a system that offers a potential optical platform for the optimization of randomly connected XY Hamiltonians
Enhanced coupling between ballistic exciton-polariton condensates through tailored pumping
We propose a method to enhance the spatial coupling between ballistic
exciton-polariton condensates in a semiconductor microcavity based on available
spatial light modulator technologies. Our method, verified by numerically
solving a generalized Gross-Pitaevskii model, exploits the strong
nonequilibrium nature of exciton-polariton condensation driven by localized
nonresonant optical excitation. Tailoring the excitation beam profile from a
Gaussian into a polygonal shape results in refracted and focused radial streams
of outflowing polaritons from the excited condensate which can be directed
towards nearest neighbors. Our method can be used to lower the threshold power
needed to achieve polariton condensation and increase spatial coherence in
extended systems, paving the way towards creating extremely large-scale quantum
fluids of light
