Quantum coherence of a long-lifetime exciton-polariton condensate

Abstract In recent years, quantum information science has made significant progress, leading to a multitude of quantum protocols for the most diverse applications. States carrying resources such as quantum coherence are a key component for these protocols. In this study, we optimize the quantum coherence of a nonresonantly excited exciton-polariton condensate of long living polaritons by minimizing the condensate’s interaction with the surrounding reservoir of excitons and free carriers. By combining experimental phase space data with a displaced thermal state model, we observe how quantum coherence builds up as the system is driven above the condensation threshold. Our findings demonstrate that a spatial separation between the condensate and the reservoir enhances the state’s maximum quantum coherence directly beyond the threshold. These insights pave the way for integrating polariton systems into hybrid quantum devices and advancing applications in quantum technologies.

Coherence of Exciton-polariton condensates

Ezaki Hiromi, Hiromi Ezaki

A second-order coherence function of an exciton-polariton condensate is calculated in the time domain by the quantum Monte-Carlo wavefunction method.We fully consider polariton-polariton interactions within the five lowest quantized exciton-polariton branch in a one-dimensional model.Our calculated second-order coherence function qualitatively agrees with the experimental results obtained by H. Deng et.al, 1) and it approaches to one at well above threshold like an ideal photon laser.However, the polariton number distribution is broad compared with Poissonian distribution, which indicates that the polariton condensate is different from a coherent state.
