Figure 1: Polaritonics may resolve the incongruence between electronics, which suffers technological and physical barriers to increased speed, and photonics, which requires lossy integration of light source and guiding structures. Other [[quasiparticles/collective excitations such as magnon-polaritons and exciton-polaritons, their location identified above, may be exploitable in the same way that phonon-polaritons have been for polaritonics.
