2 Outline Exciton polariton condensation vs. photon laser Thermodynamics of the excitations: Quantum degeneracy at equilibrium condition Bogoliubov excitation spectrum Coherence properties of the condensate: First order and second order coherence Dynamical condensation at excited Bloch bands in one dimensional lattice Experimental tricks toward equilibrium BEC of polariton: Blue detuning, cooperative cooling (by spin mixture) and evaporative cooling (by weak lateral confinement) 2

3 Exciton Polariton Condensation vs. Photon Laser : Proposal Phys. Rev. A 53, 4250 (1996) Extended wave functions reinforced by photonic components of exciton polaritons suppress localization due to disorder and crystal defects, which are notorious enemies to exciton BEC. Light effective mass by dressing QW excitons with cavity fields mpolariton ~ 10 4 mexciton ~ 10 8 matom : 2D quasi BEC (Ketterle and van Druten, 1996) higher critical temperature lower particle density suppress Auger recombination and dissociation of excitons which are another enemies to exciton BEC. Main decay channel of exciton polaritons= Photon leakage from the cavity with k and E conservation direct experimental access to the energy momentum dispersion and population distribution of internal polaritons. 3
