Research on the Collective Excitations of an Exciton Condensate

Excitons are pairs of holes and electrons present inside a solid material that together act like just one particle. For a long time, it has been assumed that when a number of such excitons exist in the same piece of matter, they can produce a single giant quantum state known as a Bose-Einstein condensate – the same process which is considered to be responsible for a metal losing all of its electrical resistance when it develops into a superconductor, for instance.
