DESCRIPTION:Albert Adiyatullin\nWe are very pleased to announce and cordia
 lly invite you to our monthly EPFL Photonics Chapter (EPC) 'Pizza-optics-b
 eer' (POB) seminar on March 8th\, 2017 (Wednesday) at 18h (6pm).  The se
 minar will take place in the room CM 1100.\n\nThis month we will have th
 e pleasure to host Albert Adiyatullin  who will give us some insights in 
 his field of expertise. His presentation is entitled:   “Towards squeez
 ed light generation in a polariton Josephson junction”.   Albert and us
 \, we would be happy to see you there!\n\nFor organizational purposes (if 
 you want to eat pizza!)\, please confirm your participation using the foll
 owing Doodle.  \n\nAbstract:       Microcavity polaritons are hybrid l
 ight-matter quasiparticles that are easily accessible by optical means whi
 le possessing a sizeable nonlinearity. The ability to engineer confinement
  potentials in microcavities makes polaritons a very convenient system to 
 study localized bosonic populations. One bright example is a polariton Jos
 ephson junction\, where coupling of two polariton populations gives rise t
 o a nontrivial dynamics in the system\, and is predicted to lead to the Ga
 ussian squeezing or even to a single photon emission under certain conditi
 ons.\nIn this talk\, I will demonstrate the manifestation of the dynamical
  squeezing in the polariton Josephson junction. This effect was revealed b
 y time-dependent second-order correlation measurements using a streak-came
 ra as an ultrafast single photon detector. Dynamical squeezing was remarka
 bly well explained by quantum simulations\, which predict dynamical evolut
 ion of the squeezing parameters. These results open the way towards genera
 tion of nonclassical light in new type of solid-state systems.
