Moiré-Polaritons in a Dark Bose-Einstein Condensate
Quantum mixtures of moiré excitons have arisen as a platform for realizing novel phases of light and matter. Here, we study moiré polaritons coupled to a Bose-Einstein condensate of dark-state excitons confined to a moiré superlattice. We develop a variational approach to analyze the optical response of the system and demonstrate that strong exciton-exciton interactions significantly modify the character of moiré polaritons, leading to sizable energy shifts of the avoided crossing between t…

Direct visualization of visible-light hyperbolic plasmon polaritons in real space and time
Hyperbolic materials support exotic polaritons with hyperbolic dispersion that enable subdiffraction focusing and enhanced light-matter interactions. Visible-frequency hyperbolic plasmon polaritons (HPPs) offer significant advantages over hyperbolic phonon polaritons, which operate in the infrared frequency range - namely lower losses and greater technological relevance. However, these HPPs remained experimentally inaccessible until the recent identification of molybdenum(IV) oxychloride (MoOCl…

Choosing iteration maps for the parallel Pollard rho method
Pollard's rho method finds a prime factor $p$ of an integer $N$ by searching for a collision in a map of the form $x \mapsto x^{2k} + c$ modulo $N$. This search can be parallelized to multiple machines, which may use distinct parameters $k$ and $c$. In this paper, we give an asymptotic estimate for the expected running time of the parallel rho method depending on the choice of $k$ for each machine. We also prove that $k = 1$ is the best choice for one machine, if nothing about $p$ is known in a…

Nucleation feedback can drive establishment and maintenance of biased microtubule polarity in neurites
The microtubule cytoskeleton is comprised of dynamic, polarized filaments that facilitate transport within the cell. Polarized microtubule arrays are key to facilitating cargo transport in long cells such as neurons. Microtubules also undergo dynamic instability, where the plus and minus ends of the filaments switch between growth and shrinking phases, leading to frequent microtubule turnover. Although microtubules often completely disassemble and new filaments nucleate, microtubule arrays have…

Polarization switching on the open surfaces of the wurtzite ferroelectric nitrides: ferroelectric subsystems and electrochemical reactivity
Binary ferroelectric nitrides are promising materials for information technologies and power electronics. However, polarization switching in these materials is highly unusual. From the structural perspective, polarization reversal is associated with the change of the effective polarity at the surfaces and interfaces from N-to-M terminated, suggesting strong coupling between ferroelectric and chemical phenomena. Phenomenologically, macroscopic studies demonstrate the presence of complex time dep…

Mechanically Interlocked Polymers in Dilute Solution under Shear and Extensional Flows: A Brownian Dynamics Study
Mechanically interlocked polymers (MIPs) are a novel class of polymer structures in which the components are connected by mechanical bonds instead of covalent bonds. We measure the single-molecule rheological properties of polyrotaxanes, daisy chains, and polycatenanes under steady shear and steady uniaxial extension using coarse-grained Brownian dynamics simulations with hydrodynamic interactions. We obtain key rheological features, including tumbling dynamics, molecular extension, stress, and…

Artificial Gauge Fields and Dimensions in a Polariton Hofstadter Ladder
Artificial gauge fields allow uncharged particles to mimic the behavior of charged particles subjected to magnetic fields, providing a powerful platform for exploring topological physics. Neutral particles, like photons, are typically unaffected by real magnetic fields. However, it is possible to introduce artificial gauge fields that control the effective dynamics of these neutral particles. Topological exciton-polariton lasers have attracted considerable interest, in part due to the wide rang…
