Soft Matter and Complex Systems Seminar

Exciton-polaritons are quantum quasiparticles that appear in the regime of strong light-matter coupling. They can be realized in a wide range of semiconductor materials, including inorganic semiconductors such as GaAs and CdTe, organic semiconductors, two-dimensional materials and perovskites. Their uniqueness lies in that they combine the properties of both light and matter, resulting in excellent transport and strong interparticle interactions. In this talk I will discuss the applications of exciton-polaritons in classical and quantum computing, including reservoir computing, all-optical systems, and quantum neural networks.
