Quantum Simulations with Photons and Polaritons

Part of the book series: Quantum Science and Technology ((QST))

Abstract

A quantum simulator is a purposeful quantum machine that can address complex quantum problems in a controllable setting and an efficient manner. This chapter introduces a solid-state quantum simulator platform based on exciton-polaritons, which are hybrid light-matter quantum quasi-particles. We describe the physical realization of an exciton-polariton quantum simulator in semiconductor materials (hardware) and discuss a class of problems, which the exciton-polariton quantum simulators can address well (software). A current status of the experimental progress in building the quantum machine is reviewed, and potential applications are considered.
