Kardar–Parisi–Zhang universality in a one-dimensional polariton condensate
Experiments show that the dynamics of phase fluctuations in a one-dimensional polariton condensate falls in the Kardar–Parisi–Zhang universality class, and theoretical analysis supports this finding revealing the key signatures of this universality class.

Polariton Bose–Einstein condensate from a bound state in the continuum
Using a patterned waveguide, a Bose–Einstein condensate of polaritons is realized in a bound state in the continuum, with a low condensation threshold density that occurs at a dispersion saddle point.

| Open AccessHyperbolic shear polaritons in low-symmetry crystals
Shear phenomena in the infrared dielectric response of a monoclinic crystal are shown to unveil a new polariton class termed hyperbolic shear polariton that can emerge in any low-symmetry monoclinic or triclinic system.

Observation of non-Hermitian degeneracies in a chaotic exciton-polariton billiard
In non-Hermitian systems, spectral degeneracies can arise that can cause unusual, counter-intuitive effects; here exciton-polaritons—hybrid light–matter particles—within a semiconductor microcavity are found to display non-trivial topological modal structure exclusive to such systems.

Giant nonlinear response from plasmonic metasurfaces coupled to intersubband transitions
Multiple-quantum-well semiconductors can provide one of the largest known nonlinear material responses, which is, however, geometrically limited to light beams polarized perpendicular to the semiconductor layers; by coupling a plasmonic metasurface to the semiconductor heterostructure, this limitation can be lifted, opening a new path towards ultrathin planarized components with large nonlinear response.
