Figueroa Group: Experimental Particle and Quantum Physics

We look out into the Universe and gaze at an endless sea of galaxies, hundreds of billions of them, each containing hundreds of billions of stars. Yet all these structures that we see are but the tip of the iceberg. Our Universe is a strange place, dominated by unseen substances we call dark matter and dark energy. What are they, and how does this all work?

Advanced Photonics Lab

We are interested in the study of polariton quantum fluids of light, the investigation of frontier physics mainly related to the interactions and coupling of light with matter both from a macroscopic point of view as well as at the single particle level. We study collective coherent phenomena of condensates of Bose-Einstein in semiconductor materials, exploiting quasiparticles generated by the strong coupling between light and excited states of matter.
