Observation of quantized vortices in non-equilibrium polariton condensates, suggesting parallelisms with conventional superfluids, have been reported either by spontaneous formation and pinning in the presence of disorder [1,2] or by imprinting it onto the signal or idler of an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) [2]. Here we report the first observation of a polariton condensate receiving a quantized angular momentum by means of a short optical pulse and maintaining its rotation for a time much longer than the pulse duration, the polariton and coherence lifetimes. This observation shows a peculiar character of polariton condensates and reveals analogies with supercurrents in superconductors or persistent flow in condensates [3].
