Self-organization into quantized eigenstates of a classical wave-driven particle

S Perrard, M Labousse, M Miskin, E Fort… - Nature …, 2014 - nature.com
A growing number of dynamical situations involve the coupling of particles or singularities
with physical waves. In principle these situations are very far from the wave particle duality at …

Nonlinear quantum optics with trion polaritons in 2D monolayers: conventional and unconventional photon blockade

O Kyriienko, DN Krizhanovskii, IA Shelykh - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
