Breakthrough achieves electrically controlled polaritons at room temperature

Posted by in categories: particle physics, quantum physics

A research team consisting of Professor Kyoung-Duck Park and Hyeongwoo Lee, an integrated PhD student, from the Department of Physics at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) has pioneered an innovative technique in ultra-high-resolution spectroscopy. Their breakthrough marks the world’s first instance of electrically controlling polaritons – hybridized light-matter particles – at room temperature.

This research has been published in Physical Review Letters (“Electrically Tunable Single Polaritonic Quantum Dot at Room Temperature”).
