Engineering new, complex states of matter is an important area, impacting not only our fundamental understanding but also practical applications. One promising approach in quantum-coherent...
Engineering complex quantum states requires controlling coherent interactions in many-body systems. Atoms with a highly excited electron, called Rydberg atoms, offer both strong and controllable interactions, due to their giant...
Quantized vortices are one of the most striking manifestations of superfluidity, such as found in Bose-Einstein condensates. In our work with Alberto Bramati at LKB, we used exciton-polaritons to generate...
Continuous sources of squeezed light are a notorious challenge for semiconductor systems. One of my early goals has been the demonstration of such squeezed states by exploiting the strong excitonics...
In a semiconductor material, an electronic excitation corresponds to the passage of an electron from the valence band to the conduction band. There is then a free electron and a...
