Parallel dark-soliton pair in a bistable two-dimensional exciton-polariton superfluid

Collective excitations, such as vortex-antivortex and dark solitons, are among the most fascinating effects of macroscopic quantum states. However, two-dimensional (2D) dark solitons are unstable and collapse into vortices due to snake instabilities. Making use of the optical bistability in exciton-...
