Stable magnetic monopoles in spinor polariton condensates
Stable magnetic monopoles in spinor polariton condensates
We consider half-integer topological defects in a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate of exciton polaritons. We show that they accelerate under the effect of an in-plane effective magnetic field, like regular electric charges in the electric field. The trajectories of these analogs of magnetic monopoles are derived analytically and checked by numerical …
