Abstract Exciton-polaritons, formed through strong coupling between photons and excitons, exhibit unique characteristics such as an extremely small effective mass and a propensity to form Bose-Einstein condensates. The dynamics of these condensates are governed by a coupled system of equations that describe the condensate wavefunction and the excitonic reservoir density. Using imaginary-time evolution, the ground state of the condensate in a quasi-periodic potential is determined, revealing a transition from localized to delocalized states as the nonlinearity increases. After quenching the interaction strength, localized condensates with weak nonlinearity propagate without significant distortion, whereas those with strong nonlinearity exhibit breathing-like oscillations. Higher reservoir decay rates promote localization and suppress chaotic behavior, highlighting the interplay between nonlinearity and dissipation in determining the system's dynamical behavior.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
