## Abstract

Low-energy polaritons in semiconductor microcavities are important for many processes such as, e.g., polariton condensation. Organic microcavities frequently feature both strong exciton-photon coupling and substantial scattering in the exciton subsystem. Low-energy polaritons possessing small or vanishing group velocities are especially susceptible to the effects of such scattering that can render them strongly localized. We compare the time evolution of low-energy wave packets in perfect microcavities and in a model 1$d$ cavity with diagonal disorder to illustrate this localization of polaritons and to draw attention to the need to explore its consequences for the kinetics and collective properties of polaritons.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
