The recent demonstration of exciton-polariton, a quasiparticle that has both light and matter character, in samples of purified semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes opens exciting pathways towards the creation of room temperature quantum liquids, such as the Bose-Einstein condensate. The goal of this project is to look for new strategies towards such room-temperature superconductivity using charged exciton polaritons (trion-polaritons) in composite materials. These materials are some of the most prominent candidates to create and study this exciting, though elusive phase of quantum matter.
