Abstract

Different complex systems can exhibit remarkably similar behavior, a concept known as universality. Defining different classes of universality for driven nonequilibrium systems, however, is difficult. A new analysis shows how one of these classes---the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang class---can be experimentally realized using a fluid of exciton-polaritons and how the universal behavior can be changed by making this system strongly anisotropic.

  • For the intermediate two-dimensional case, the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition typical of equilibrium systems may be replaced by Kardar-Parisi-Zhang physics.

    “Even more subtle features have been pointed out for the intermediate two-dimensional case where the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition typical of equilibrium systems [128,129] may be replaced by a Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) physics [130][131][132].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
