Two-Dimensional Superfluidity of Exciton Polaritons Requires Strong Anisotropy

Fluids of exciton polaritons, excitations of two-dimensional quantum wells in optical cavities, show collective phenomena akin to Bose condensation. However, a fundamental difference from standard condensates stems from the finite lifetime of these excitations, which necessitates continuous driving...
