## Abstract

We report on polariton condensation in photonic molecules formed by two coupled micropillars. We show that the condensation process is strongly affected by the interaction with the cloud of uncondensed excitons. Depending on the spatial position of these excitons within the molecule, condensation can be triggered on both binding and anti-binding polariton states of the molecule, on a metastable state or a total transfer of the condensate into one of the micropillars can be obtained. Our results highlight the crucial role played by relaxation kinetics in the condensation process.

## 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.
