From Nodeless Clouds and Vortices to Gray Rings and Symmetry-Broken States in Two-Dimensional Polariton Condensates

We consider the existence, stability and dynamics of the nodeless state and fundamental nonlinear excitations, such as vortices, for a quasi-two-dimensional polariton condensate in the presence of pumping and nonlinear damping. We find a series of interesting features that can be directly contrastedto the case of the typically energy-conserving ultracold... Show more
