PLMCN26

The 2026 edition of the PLMCN (12–15 April (2026)) took place in Yerevan, Armenia. I gave an invited talk on the topic of "Quantum vs Quantum Optical Coherence of Polaritons" and introduced for the first time our results on spurious bosonic correlations from classical states.

It was initially scheduled to take place in Dubai, before it got bombed by Iran following the attack from the United States‒Israel coalition in their Epic Fury attack. It then got moved at the last minute to the Quantum College in Yerevan, which is a private school. It was quite an atmosphere to be discussing 2D materials, resonance fluorescence and polariton condensation amongst the cries of children running and playing in the corridors.
