| Popis: | Inspired by the recent experimental observation of strongly coupled polaritons in a Moir\'e heterobilayer, we study a model of dipole-interacting excitons localized on sites of a lattice and coupled to planar cavity photons. We calculate the phase diagram of this system by computing fluctuations around the mean field and determining the stability of the excitation spectrum. We find that the transition from the normal state to a polariton condensate is intermediated by a series of ordered states at partial fillings of the exciton lattice, stabilized by the exciton interactions. In particular we predict a supersolid phase in which a polariton condensate coexists with spatial order. Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures |
