Steady reservoir-mediated self-trapping of polariton condensates

Nonequilibrium bosonic condensates of exciton-polaritons generated by tightly focused incoherent optical beams are typically expected to form a stationary ballistically expanding state with the notable exception of experimentally observed compact self-trapped states [Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 047401 (2019)]. We show that t...
