title = "Observation of quantum hydrodynamic effects in microcavity polaritons",
abstract = "We study the hydrodynamics of a coherent polariton fluid lasting for hundreds of picoseconds and moving inside of a semiconductor microcavity. The momentum of the polariton droplets can be well controlled by selecting the angle and energy of two excitation laser beams. We observe unique behaviours due to the quantum nature of the polariton states, such as the linearization of the polariton dispersion around the energy of the signal states, and the propagation at constant speed of the polariton fluids. The experiments have been realized making use of a new technique for the detection of images simultaneously resolved in time, energy and real- or reciprocal- space.",
