Bose polarons are mobile particles of one kind dressed by excitations of the surrounding degenerate Bose gas of particles of another kind. These many-body objects have been realized in ultracold atomic gases and become a subject of intensive studies. In this work, we show that excitons in electron-hole bilayers offer new opportunities for exploring polarons in strongly interacting, highly tunable bosonic systems. We found that Bose polarons are formed by spatially direct excitons immersed in degenerate Bose gases of spatially indirect excitons (IXs). We detected both attractive and repulsive Bose polarons by measuring photoluminescence excitation spectra. We controlled the density of IX Bose gas by optical excitation and observed an enhancement of the energy splitting between attractive and repulsive Bose polarons with increasing IX density, in agreement with our theoretical calculations.

Fermi polarons are emerging quasiparticles when a bosonic impurity immersed in a fermionic bath. Depending on the boson-fermion interaction strength, the Fermi-polaron resonances exhibit either attractive or repulsive interactions, which impose further experimental challenges on understanding the subtle light-driven dynamics. Here, we report the light-driven dynamics of attractive and repulsive Fermi polarons in monolayer WSe devices.

Article Synopsis
- The research explores how to trigger superconductivity in very thin semiconductor materials using excitons to create an effective attraction between electrons, expanding beyond traditional phonon-mediated superconductivity.
- By including interactions related to trions, the study shows that the electron-exciton interaction varies significantly with frequency and momentum, leading to a transition between weakly bound Cooper pairs and a superfluid state of bipolarons.
- Despite the complexity of strong-coupling conditions, the resulting bipolarons are lightweight, allowing for critical temperatures that can reach up to 10% of the Fermi temperature, suggesting that two-dimensional material heterostructures could be valuable for achieving high-temperature superconductivity when electron doping and trion effects are optimized.

The study of exciton polarons has offered profound insights into the many-body interactions between bosonic excitations and their immersed Fermi sea within layered heterostructures. However, little is known about the properties of exciton polarons with interlayer interactions. Here, through magneto-optical reflectance contrast measurements, we experimentally investigate interlayer Fermi polarons for 2s excitons in WSe/graphene heterostructures, where the excited exciton states (2s) in the WSe layer are dressed by free charge carriers of the adjacent graphene layer in the Landau quantization regime.

Bose-Einstein condensates of ultracold atoms serve as low-entropy sources for a multitude of quantum-science applications, ranging from quantum simulation and quantum many-body physics to proof-of-principle experiments in quantum metrology and quantum computing. For stability reasons, in the majority of cases the energetically lowest-lying atomic spin state is used. Here, we report the Bose-Einstein condensation of caesium atoms in the Zeeman-excited m = 2 state, realizing a non-ground-state Bose-Einstein condensate with tunable interactions and tunable loss.
