Phase Diagrams

Caption

Phase diagrams showing the four different regions observed in the experiment: white -- superfluid without photons; red and yellow -- photons in only one of the cavities; blue -- photons in both cavities simultaneously (mixed phase). As the coupling between the orders is increased, the mixed-phase regime (blue) becomes increasingly favourable.
