Fig. 6: Impact of radiative decay on polariton transport.
From: Quantum dynamics simulation of exciton-polariton transport

a Real-space resolved polaritonic densities ∣ψpol(x, t)∣2 for κ = 80 meV and three resonantly excited LPB wavepackets in a lossy cavity with τC = 24 fs. b MSD of propagating EP for a vibronic coupling strength of κ = 80 meV. EPs have been excited resonantly to five different points at the LPB by pulses 1–3,5,6; exciton contents αex at these targeted points are given in the legend. Red lines indicate the expectation value of the position operator. c Comparison of MSDs for pulses 1,3,6 in the presence and absence of radiative decay.
