"electric field applied to microcavity causes hybrid polaritons with different spins to move away from one another in opposite directions... polariton spinning clockwise/ counter-clockwise allows computer data encoding, generated by shining green laser on caesium lead bromide with liquid crystal molecular layer in microcavity... controlled/ changed polaritons' movements, based on how they spin, by applying external voltage to them... store, transfer, process data at the speed of light"
