Crystal Lattice Created from Hybrid Photon-Electron Quasiparticles

Using hybrid photon-electron quasiparticles – polaritons, an international research team has created an analog of a solid-body crystal lattice. In the resulting polariton lattice, some particles’ energy does not rely on their speed. Simultaneously, the lattice’s geometry, particle concentration, and polarization properties can still be altered.
