点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

In this project, we set out to realize a complete description of nonlinear quantum processes involving microcavity polaritons. Such a description is given by a process matrix that maps every possible input state fed to the system to its corresponding output state. To construct this matrix, we will combine advanced spectroscopic techniques and theoretical modelling to realize nonlinear quantum process tomography – a technique known from quantum optics – and apply it to the specific challenges posed by semiconductor systems. In detail, we will fully characterize spontaneous polariton condensate formation, vortex formation, and the polariton optical parametric oscillator.
