Abstract
With a seminal work of Raghu and Haldane in 2008, concepts of topology have been introduced into optical systems, where some of the most promising routes to an application are efficient and highly coherent topological lasers. While some attempts have been made to excite such structures electrically, the majority of published experiments use a form of laser excitation. In this paper, we use a lattice of vertical resonator polariton micropillars to form an exponentially localized topological Su-Schrieffer-Heeger defect. Upon electrical excitation, the system unequivocally shows polariton lasing from the topological defect using a carefully placed gold contact. Despite the presence of doping and electrical contacts, the polariton band structure clearly preserves its topological properties. At high excitation power the Mott density is exceeded, leading to highly efficient lasing in the weak coupling regime. This work is an important step toward applied topological lasers using vertical resonator microcavity structures.

Exciton polariton condensation from bound states in the continuum at room temperature. Nat Commun 2024; 15:3345.

Abstract
Exciton-polaritons (polaritons) resulting from the strong exciton-photon interaction stimulates the development of novel low-threshold coherent light sources to circumvent the ever-increasing energy demands of optical communications1-3. Polaritons from bound states in the continuum (BICs) are promising for Bose-Einstein condensation owing to their theoretically infinite quality factors, which provide prolonged lifetimes and benefit the polariton accumulations4-7. However, BIC polariton condensation remains limited to cryogenic temperatures ascribed to the small exciton binding energies of conventional material platforms. Herein, we demonstrated room-temperature BIC polariton condensation in perovskite photonic crystal lattices. BIC polariton condensation was demonstrated at the vicinity of the saddle point of polariton dispersion that generates directional vortex beam emission with long-range coherence. We also explore the peculiar switching effect among the miniaturized BIC polariton modes through effective polariton-polariton scattering. Our work paves the way for the practical implementation of BIC polariton condensates for integrated photonic and topological circuits.

Abstract
Exciton-polariton systems composed of a light-matter quasi-particle with a light effective mass easily realize Bose-Einstein condensation. In this work, we constructed an annular trap in a halide perovskite semiconductor microcavity and observed the spontaneous formation of symmetrical petal-shaped exciton-polariton condensation in the annular trap at room temperature. In our study, we found that the number of petals of the petal-shaped exciton-polariton condensates, which is decided by the orbital angular momentum, is dependent on the light intensity distribution. Therefore, the selective excitation of perovskite microcavity exciton-polariton condensates under all-optical control can be realized by adjusting the light intensity distribution. This could pave the way to room-temperature topological devices, optical cryptographical devices, and new quantum gyroscopes in the exciton-polariton system.

Abstract
A honeycomb Floquet lattice with helically rotating waveguides and an interface separating two counter-propagating subdomains is analyzed. Two topologically protected localized waves propagate unidirectionally along the interface. Switching can occur when these interface modes reach the edge of the lattice and the light splits into waves traveling in two opposite directions. The incoming mode, traveling along the interface, can be adjusted and routed entirely or partially along either lattice edge with the switching direction based on a suitable mixing of the interface modes.

Abstract
The "marriage" of light (i.e., photon) and matter (i.e., exciton) in semiconductors leads to the formation of hybrid quasiparticles called exciton polaritons with fascinating quantum phenomena such as Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) and photon blockade. The research of exciton polaritons has been evolving into an era with emergent two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors and photonic structures for their tremendous potential to break the current limitations of quantum fundamental study and photonic applications. In this Perspective, the basic concepts of 2D excitons, optical resonators, and the strong coupling regime are introduced. The research progress of exciton polaritons is reviewed, and important discoveries (especially the recent ones of 2D exciton polaritons) are highlighted. Subsequently, the emergent 2D exciton polaritons are discussed in detail, ranging from the realization of the strong coupling regime in various photonic systems to the discoveries of attractive phenomena with interesting physics and extensive applications. Moreover, emerging 2D semiconductors, such as 2D perovskites (2DPK) and 2D antiferromagnetic (AFM) semiconductors, are surveyed for the manipulation of exciton polaritons with distinct control degrees of freedom (DOFs). Finally, the outlook on the 2D exciton polaritons and their nonlinear interactions is presented with our initial numerical simulations. This Perspective not only aims to provide an in-depth overview of the latest fundamental findings in 2D exciton polaritons but also attempts to serve as a valuable resource to prospect explorations of quantum optics and topological photonic applications.

Abstract
Exciton polaritons are widely considered as promising platforms for developing room-temperature polaritonic devices, owing to the high-speed propagation and nonlinear interactions. However, it remains challenging to explore the dynamics of exciton polaritons specifically at room temperature, where the lifetime could be as small as a few picoseconds and the prevailing time-averaged measurement cannot give access to the true nature of it. Herein, by using the time-resolved photoluminescence, we have successfully traced the ultrafast coherent dynamics of a moving exciton polariton condensate in a one-dimensional perovskite microcavity. The propagation speed is directly measured to be ∼12.2 ± 0.8 μm/ps. Moreover, we have developed a time-resolved Michelson interferometry to quantify the time-dependent phase coherence, which reveals that the actual coherence time of exciton polaritons could be much longer (nearly 100%) than what was believed before. Our work sheds new light on the ultrafast coherent propagation of exciton polaritons at room temperature.

Abstract
Exciton polaritons in atomically thin transition-metal dichalcogenide microcavities provide a versatile platform for advancing optoelectronic devices and studying the interacting Bosonic physics at ambient conditions. Rationally engineering the favorable properties of polaritons is critically required for the rapidly growing research. Here, we demonstrate the manipulation of nonlinear polaritons with the lithographically defined potential landscapes in monolayer WS2 microcavities. The discretization of photoluminescence dispersions and spatially confined patterns indicate the deterministic on-site localization of polaritons by the artificial mesa cavities. Varying the trapping sizes, the polariton-reservoir interaction strength is enhanced by about six times through managing the polariton-exciton spatial overlap. Meanwhile, the coherence of trapped polaritons is significantly improved due to the spectral narrowing and tailored in a picosecond range. Therefore, our work not only offers a convenient approach to manipulating the nonlinearity and coherence of polaritons but also opens up possibilities for exploring many-body phenomena and developing novel polaritonic devices based on 2D materials.

Abstract
Unlike conventional laser, the topological laser is able to emit coherent light robustly against disorders and defects because of its nontrivial band topology. As a promising platform for low-power consumption, exciton polariton topological lasers require no population inversion, a unique property that can be attributed to the part-light-part-matter bosonic nature and strong nonlinearity of exciton polaritons. Recently, the discovery of higher-order topology has shifted the paradigm of topological physics to topological states at boundaries of boundaries, such as corners. However, such topological corner states have never been realized in the exciton polariton system yet. Here, on the basis of an extended two-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger lattice model, we experimentally demonstrate the topological corner states of perovskite polaritons and achieved polariton corner state lasing with a low threshold (approximately microjoule per square centimeter) at room temperature. The realization of such polariton corner states also provides a mechanism of polariton localization under topological protection, paving the way toward on-chip active polaritonics using higher-order topology.

Abstract
We present a new approach to achieving strong coupling between electrically injected excitons and photonic bound states in the continuum of a dielectric metasurface. Here a high-finesse metasurface cavity is monolithically patterned in the channel of a perovskite light-emitting transistor to induce a large Rabi splitting of ∼200 meV and more than 50-fold enhancement of the polaritonic emission compared to the intrinsic excitonic emission of the perovskite film. Moreover, the directionality of polaritonic electroluminescence can be dynamically tuned by varying the source-drain bias, which induces an asymmetric distribution of exciton population within the transistor channel. We argue that this approach provides a new platform to study strong light-matter interactions in dispersion engineered photonic cavities under electrical injection and paves the way to solution-processed electrically pumped polariton lasers.

The lead halide perovskite has become a promising candidate for the study of exciton polaritons due to their excellent optical properties. Here, both experimental and simulated results confirm the existence of two kinds of Fabry-Pérot microcavities in a single CsPbBr3 microwire with an isosceles right triangle cross section, and we experimentally demonstrate that confined photons in a straight and a folded Fabry-Pérot microcavity are strongly coupled with excitons to form exciton polaritons. Furthermore, we reveal the polarization characteristic and double-cavity modulation of exciton polaritons emission by polarization-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. Our results not only prove that the modulation of exciton polaritons emission can occur in this simple double-cavity system but also provide a possibility to develop related polariton devices.

Room-temperature polariton quantum fluids in halide perovskites. Nat Commun 2022; 13:7388.

Abstract
AbstractQuantum fluids exhibit quantum mechanical effects at the macroscopic level, which contrast strongly with classical fluids. Gain-dissipative solid-state exciton-polaritons systems are promising emulation platforms for complex quantum fluid studies at elevated temperatures. Recently, halide perovskite polariton systems have emerged as materials with distinctive advantages over other room-temperature systems for future studies of topological physics, non-Abelian gauge fields, and spin-orbit interactions. However, the demonstration of nonlinear quantum hydrodynamics, such as superfluidity and Čerenkov flow, which is a consequence of the renormalized elementary excitation spectrum, remains elusive in halide perovskites. Here, using homogenous halide perovskites single crystals, we report, in both one- and two-dimensional cases, the complete set of quantum fluid phase transitions from normal classical fluids to scatterless polariton superfluids and supersonic fluids—all at room temperature, clear consequences of the Landau criterion. Specifically, the supersonic Čerenkov wave pattern was observed at room temperature. The experimental results are also in quantitative agreement with theoretical predictions from the dissipative Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Our results set the stage for exploring the rich non-equilibrium quantum fluid many-body physics at room temperature and also pave the way for important polaritonic device applications.

Abstract
Hierarchical assemblies of functional nanoparticles can have applications exceeding those of individual constituents. Arranging components in a certain order, even at the atomic scale, can result in emergent effects. We demonstrate that printed atomic ordering is achieved in multiscale hierarchical structures, including nanoparticles, superlattices, and macroarrays. The CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocubes self-assemble into superlattices in ordered arrays controlled across 10 scales. These structures behave as single nanoparticles, with diffraction patterns similar to those of single crystals. The assemblies repeat as two-dimensional planar unit cells, forming crystalline superlattice arrays. The fluorescence intensity of these arrays is 5.2 times higher than those of random aggregate arrays. The multiscale coherent states can be printed on a meter-scale panel as a micropixel light-producing layer of primary-color photon emitters. These hierarchical assemblies can boost the performance of optoelectronic devices and enable the development of high-efficiency, directional quantum light sources.

Abstract
Chiral edge states are highly sought after as paradigmatic topological states relevant to both quantum information processing and dissipationless electron transport. Using superconducting transmon-based quantum computers, we demonstrate chiral topological propagation that is induced by suitably designed interactions, instead of flux or spin-orbit coupling. Also different from conventional 2D realizations, our effective Chern lattice is implemented on a much smaller equivalent 1D spin chain, with sequences of entangling gates encapsulating the required time-reversal breaking. By taking advantage of the quantum nature of the platform, we circumvented difficulties from the limited qubit number and gate fidelity in present-day noisy intermediate-scale quantum era quantum computers, paving the way for the quantum simulation of more sophisticated topological states on very rapidly developing quantum hardware.

Abstract
The miniaturization and integration of optoelectronic devices require progressive size reduction of active layers, resulting in less optical absorption and lower quantum efficiency. In this work, we demonstrate that introducing a metasurface made of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite (HOIP) can significantly enhance broadband absorption and improve photon-to-electron conversion, which roots from exciting Mie resonances together with suppressing optical transmission. On the basis of the HOIP metasurface, a broadband photodetector has been fabricated where photocurrent boosts more than 10 times in the frequency ranging from ultraviolet to visible. The device response time is less than 5.1 μs at wavelengths 380, 532, and 710 nm, and the relevant 3 dB bandwidth is over 0.26 MHz. Moreover, this photodetector has been applied as a signal receiver for transmitting 2D color images in broadband optical communication. These results accentuate the practical applications of HOIP metasurfaces in novel optoelectronic devices for broadband optical communication.

Abstract
Manipulating photons in artificially structured materials is highly desired in modern photonic technology. Nontrivial topological structures are rapidly emerging as a state-of-art platform for achieving unprecedented fascinating phenomena of photon manipulation. However, the current studies mainly focus on planar structures, and the fabrication of photonic microstructures with specific topological geometric features still remains a great challenge. Extending the topological photonics to 3D microarchitectures is expected to enrich the photon manipulation capabilities and further advance the topological photonic devices. Here, a femtosecond laser direct writing technique is employed to fabricate 3D topological Möbius microring resonators from dye-doped polymer. The high-quality-factor Möbius microring resonator supports a unique spin-orbit coupled lasing at very low threshold. Due to the spin-orbit coupling induced geometric/Berry phase, the Möbius microrings, in striking contrast with ordinary microrings, output laser signals with all polarization states. The manipulation of miniaturized coherent light sources in the fabricated Möbius microrings represents a significant step forward toward 3D topological photonics that offers a novel design philosophy for functional photonic and optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Recently, exciton-polaritons in lead halide perovskite microcavities have been extensively investigated to address striking phenomena such as polariton condensation and quantum emulation. However, a critical step in advancing these findings into practical applications, i.e., realizing electrically pumped perovskite polariton light-emitting devices, has not yet been presented. Here, we devise a new method to combine the device with a microcavity and report the first halide perovskite polariton light-emitting device. Specifically, the device is based on a CsPbBr3 capacitive structure, which can inject the electrons and holes from the same electrode, conducive to the formation of excitons and simultaneously maintaining the high quality of the microcavity. In addition, highly polarized polariton emissions have been demonstrated due to the optical birefringence in the CsPbBr3 microplate. This work paves the way for realizing practical polaritonic devices such as high-speed light-emitting devices for information communications and inversionless electrically pumped lasers based on perovskites.

Abstract
Spin-orbit coupling plays an important role in the spin Hall effect and topological insulators. Bose-Einstein condensates with spin-orbit coupling show remarkable quantum phase transition. In this work we control an exciton polariton condensate – a macroscopically coherent state of hybrid light and matter excitations – by virtue of the Rashba-Dresselhaus (RD) spin-orbit coupling. This is achieved in a liquid-crystal filled microcavity where CsPbBr3 perovskite microplates act as the gain material at room temperature. Specifically, we realize an artificial gauge field acting on the CsPbBr3 exciton polariton condensate, splitting the condensate fractions with opposite spins in both momentum and real space. Besides the ground states, higher-order discrete polariton modes can also be split by the RD effect. Our work paves the way to manipulate exciton polariton condensates with a synthetic gauge field based on the RD spin-orbit coupling at room temperature. Engineered spin-orbit coupling can induce novel quantum phases in a Bose-Einstein condensate, however such demonstrations have been limited to cold atom systems. Here the authors realize a exciton-polarion condensate with tunable spin-orbit coupling in a liquid crystal microcavity at room temperature.

Abstract
Exciton polaritons, the part-light and part-matter quasiparticles in semiconductor optical cavities, are promising for exploring Bose-Einstein condensation, non-equilibrium many-body physics and analogue simulation at elevated temperatures. However, a room-temperature polaritonic platform on par with the GaAs quantum wells grown by molecular beam epitaxy at low temperatures remains elusive. The operation of such a platform calls for long-lifetime, strongly interacting excitons in a stringent material system with large yet nanoscale-thin geometry and homogeneous properties. Here, we address this challenge by adopting a method based on the solution synthesis of excitonic halide perovskites grown under nanoconfinement. Such nanoconfinement growth facilitates the synthesis of smooth and homogeneous single-crystalline large crystals enabling the demonstration of XY Hamiltonian lattices with sizes up to 10 × 10. With this demonstration, we further establish perovskites as a promising platform for room temperature polaritonic physics and pave the way for the realization of robust mode-disorder-free polaritonic devices at room temperature.

Abstract
Perovskite micro/nanostructures have recently emerged as a highly attractive gain material for nanolasers. To explore their applications and further improve performance, it is essential to understand the optical gain and the anisotropic properties. Herein, we obtained high quality CsPbBr3 microplatelets (MP) with anisotropic orthorhombic phase. Optical gain of CsPbBr3 single crystal MP was investigated via microscale variable stripe-length measurement. A polarization-dependent optical gain was observed, and the gain along [002] was larger than that of [1-10]. The behavior was attributed to the lowest energy transition dipole moment of [002] induced by the smaller deviation of Br-Pb-Br bond from the perfect lattice. Along the [002] direction, we obtained the optical gain value up to 5077 cm-1, which is the record value ever reported. Moreover, all optical switching of lasing is realized by periodical polarized excitation. Our results provide new perceptions in the design of novel functional anisotropic devices based on perovskite micro/nanostructures.

Abstract
Future technologies underpinning multifunctional physical and chemical systems and compact biological sensors will rely on densely packed transformative and tunable circuitry employing nanophotonics. For many years, plasmonics was considered as the only available platform for subwavelength optics, but the recently emerged field of resonant metaphotonics may provide a versatile practical platform for nanoscale science by employing resonances in high-index dielectric nanoparticles and metasurfaces. Here, we discuss the recently emerged field of metaphotonics and describe its connection to material science and chemistry. For tunabilty, metaphotonics employs a variety of the recently highlighted materials such as polymers, perovskites, transition metal dichalcogenides, and phase change materials. This allows to achieve diverse functionalities of metasystems and metasurfaces for efficient spatial and temporal control of light by employing multipolar resonances and the physics of bound states in the continuum. We anticipate expanding applications of these concepts in nanolasers, tunable metadevices, metachemistry, as well as a design of a new generation of chemical and biological ultracompact sensing devices.

Abstract
Momentum space topology can be exploited to manipulate radiation in real space. Here we demonstrate topological control of 2D perovskite emission in the strong coupling regime via polaritonic bound states in the continuum (BICs). Topological polarization singularities (polarization vortices and circularly polarized eigenstates) are observed at room temperature by measuring the Stokes parameters of photoluminescence in momentum space. Particularly, in symmetry-broken structures, a very large degree of circular polarization (DCP) of ∼0.835 is achieved in the perovskite emission, which is the largest in perovskite materials to our knowledge. In the strong coupling regime, lower polariton modes shift to the low-loss spectral region, resulting in strong emission enhancement and large DCP. Our reciprocity analysis reveals that DCP is limited by material absorption at the emission wavelength. Polaritonic BICs based on 2D perovskite materials combine unique topological features with exceptional material properties and may become a promising platform for active nanophotonic devices.

Abstract
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is responsible for a range of spintronic and topological processes in condensed matter. Here, we show photonic analogs of SOCs in exciton-polaritons and their condensates in microcavities composed of birefringent lead halide perovskite single crystals. The presence of crystalline anisotropy coupled with splitting in the optical cavity of the transverse electric and transverse magnetic modes gives rise to a non-Abelian gauge field, which can be described by the Rashba-Dresselhaus Hamiltonian near the degenerate points of the two polarization modes. With increasing density, the exciton-polaritons with pseudospin textures undergo phase transitions to competing condensates with orthogonal polarizations. Unlike their pure photonic counterparts, these exciton-polaritons and condensates inherit nonlinearity from their excitonic components and may serve as quantum simulators of many-body SOC processes.

Abstract
Topology is central to understanding and engineering materials that display robust physical phenomena immune to imperfections. Different topological phases of matter are characterized by topological invariants. In energy-conserving (Hermitian) systems, these invariants are determined by the winding of eigenstates in momentum space. In non-Hermitian systems, a topological invariant is predicted to emerge from the winding of the complex eigenenergies. Here, we directly measure the non-Hermitian topological invariant arising from exceptional points in the momentum-resolved spectrum of exciton polaritons. These are hybrid light-matter quasiparticles formed by photons strongly coupled to electron-hole pairs (excitons) in a halide perovskite semiconductor at room temperature. We experimentally map out both the real (energy) and imaginary (linewidth) parts of the spectrum near the exceptional points and extract the novel topological invariant—fractional spectral winding. Our work represents an essential step toward realization of non-Hermitian topological phases in a condensed matter system.

Abstract
Lead-halide perovskites are generally excellent light emitters and can have larger exciton binding energies than thermal energy at room temperature, exhibiting great promise for room-temperature exciton-polaritonics. Rapid progress has been made recently, although challenges and mysteries remain in lead-halide perovskite semiconductors to push polaritons to room-temperature operation. In this Perspective, we discuss fundamental aspects of perovskite semiconductors for exciton-polaritons and review the recent rapid experimental advances using lead-halide perovskites for room-temperature polaritonics, including the experimental realization of strong light-matter interaction using various types of microcavities as well as reaching the polariton condensation regime in planar microcavities and lattices.

Abstract
Perovskite semiconductor nanocrystals are promising for optical amplification and laser applications benefiting from efficient optical gain generation. Nevertheless, the pump threshold is limited by more than one exciton per nanocrystal required to generate population inversion in neutral nanocrystals due to the level degeneracy. Here, we show that by charging nanocrystals with current injection, the level degeneracy can be lifted to generate charged exciton gain with markedly low excitation density. On the basis of the scenario, we have demonstrated electrical switching of amplified spontaneous emission in films of CsPbBr3 nanocrystals sandwiched by two electrodes with over 50% threshold reduction owing to charged excitons. Our work provides an effective approach to electrically modulated optical gain in colloidal perovskite nanocrystals for potential applications in advanced laser and information technology.

Abstract
Interacting bosonic particles in artificial lattices have proven to be a powerful tool for the investigation of exotic phases of matter as well as phenomena resulting from nontrivial topology. Exciton-polaritons, bosonic quasi-particles of light and matter, have been shown to combine the on-chip benefits of optical systems with strong interactions, inherited from their matter character. Technologically significant semiconductor platforms strictly require cryogenic temperatures. In this communication, we demonstrate exciton-polariton lasing for topological defects emerging from the imprinted lattice structure at room temperature. We utilize red fluorescent protein derived from DsRed of Discosoma sea anemones, hosting highly stable Frenkel excitons. Using a patterned mirror cavity, we tune the lattice potential landscape of a linear Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain to design topological defects at domain boundaries and at the edge. We unequivocally demonstrate polariton lasing from these topological defects. This progress has paved the road to interacting boson many-body physics under ambient conditions.
