Quantum reflections and shunting of polariton condensate wave trains : implementation of a logic AND gate

We study the dynamics of polariton condensate wave trains that propagate along a quasi-one-dimensional waveguide. Through the application of tuneable potential barriers the propagation can be reflected and multiple reflections used to confine and store a propagating state. Energy-relaxation processe...

Description
Summary:We study the dynamics of polariton condensate wave trains that propagate along a quasi-one-dimensional waveguide. Through the application of tuneable potential barriers the propagation can be reflected and multiple reflections used to confine and store a propagating state. Energy-relaxation processes allow the delayed relaxation into a long-living coherent ground state. Aside from the potential routing of polariton condensate signals, the system forms an AND-type logic gate compatible with incoherent inputs.
