We show that a 2+1 dimensional discrete surface growth model exhibiting Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) class scaling can be mapped onto a two dimensional conserved lattice gas model of directed dimers. In case of KPZ height anisotropy the dimers follow driven diffusive motion. We confirm by numerical simulations that the scaling exponents of the dimer model are in agreement with those of the 2+1 dimensional KPZ class. This opens up the possibility of analyzing growth models via reaction-diffusion models, which allow much more efficient computer simulations.
We show that d+1-dimensional surface growth models can be mapped onto driven lattice gases of d-mers. The continuous surface growth corresponds to one dimensional drift of d-mers perpendicular to the (d-1)-dimensional plane spanned by the d-mers. This facilitates efficient, bit-coded algorithms with generalized Kawasaki dynamics of spins. Our simulations in d=2,3,4,5 dimensions provide scaling exponent estimates on much larger system sizes and simulations times published so far, where the effective growth exponent exhibits an increase. We provide evidence for the agreement with field theoretical predictions of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class and numerical results. We show that the (2+1)-dimensional exponents conciliate with the values suggested by Lassig within error margin, for the largest system sizes studied here, but we cant support his predictions for (3+1)d numerically.
The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class describes the coarse-grained behavior of a wealth of classical stochastic models. Surprisingly, it was recently conjectured to also describe spin transport in the one-dimensional quantum Heisenberg model. We test this conjecture by experimentally probing transport in a cold-atom quantum simulator via the relaxation of domain walls in spin chains of up to 50 spins. We find that domain-wall relaxation is indeed governed by the KPZ dynamical exponent $z = 3/2$, and that the occurrence of KPZ scaling requires both integrability and a non-abelian SU(2) symmetry. Finally, we leverage the single-spin-sensitive detection enabled by the quantum-gas microscope to measure a novel observable based on spin-transport statistics, which yields a clear signature of the non-linearity that is a hallmark of KPZ universality.
We study the dynamics of vortices in a two-dimensional, non-equilibrium system, described by the compact Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation, after a sudden quench across the critical region. Our exact numerical solution of the phase-ordering kinetics shows that the unique interplay between non-equilibrium and the variable degree of spatial anisotropy leads to different critical regimes. We provide an analytical expression for the vortex evolution, based on scaling arguments, which is in agreement with the numerical results, and confirms the form of the interaction potential between vortices in this system.
Surface growth governed by the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in dimensions higher than two undergoes a roughening transition from smooth to rough phases with increasing the nonlinearity. It is also known that the KPZ equation can be mapped onto quantum mechanics of attractive bosons with a contact interaction, where the roughening transition corresponds to a binding transition of two bosons with increasing the attraction. Such critical bosons in three dimensions actually exhibit the Efimov effect, where a three-boson coupling turns out to be relevant under the renormalization group so as to break the scale invariance down to a discrete one. On the basis of these facts linking the two distinct subjects in physics, we predict that the KPZ roughening transition in three dimensions shows either the discrete scale invariance or no intrinsic scale invariance.
Circular KPZ interfaces spreading radially in the plane have GUE Tracy-Widom (TW) height distribution (HD) and Airy$_2$ spatial covariance, but what are their statistics if they evolve on the surface of a different background space, such as a bowl, a cup, or any surface of revolution? To give an answer to this, we report here extensive numerical analyses of several one-dimensional KPZ models on substrates whose size enlarges as $langle L(t) rangle = L_0+omega t^{gamma}$, while their mean height $langle h rangle$ increases as usual [$langle h ranglesim t$]. We show that the competition between the $L$ enlargement and the correlation length ($xi simeq c t^{1/z}$) plays a key role in the asymptotic statistics of the interfaces. While systems with $gamma>1/z$ have HDs given by GUE and the interface width increasing as $w sim t^{beta}$, for $gamma<1/z$ the HDs are Gaussian, in a correlated regime where $w sim t^{alpha gamma}$. For the special case $gamma=1/z$, a continuous class of distributions exists, which interpolate between Gaussian (for small $omega/c$) and GUE (for $omega/c gg 1$). Interestingly, the HD seems to agree with the Gaussian symplectic ensemble (GSE) TW distribution for $omega/c approx 10$. Despite the GUE HDs for $gamma>1/z$, the spatial covariances present a strong dependence on the parameters $omega$ and $gamma$, agreeing with Airy$_2$ only for $omega gg 1$, for a given $gamma$, or when $gamma=1$, for a fixed $omega$. These results considerably generalize our knowledge on the 1D KPZ systems, unveiling the importance of the background space in their statistics.
