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.

In bosonic gases at thermal equilibrium, an external quadratic drive can induce a Bose-Einstein condensation described by the Ising transition, as a consequence of the explicitly broken U(1) phase rotation symmetry down to $mathbb{Z}_2$. However, in
physical realizations such as exciton-polaritons and nonlinear photonic lattices, thermal equilibrium is lost and the state is rather determined by a balance between losses and external drive. A fundamental question is then how nonequilibrium fluctuations affect this transition. Here, we show that in a two-dimensional driven-dissipative Bose system the Ising phase is suppressed and replaced by a nonequilibrium phase featuring Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) physics. Its emergence is rooted in a U(1)-symmetry restoration mechanism enabled by the strong fluctuations in reduced dimensionality. Moreover, we show that the presence of the quadratic drive term enhances the visibility of the KPZ scaling, compared to two-dimensional U(1)-symmetric gases, where it has remained so far elusive.
Recent approximate analytical work has suggested that, at certain values of the external pump, the optical parametric oscillator (OPO) regime of microcavity polaritons may provide a realisation of Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) physics in 2D. Here, by sol
ving the full microscopic model numerically using the truncated Wigner method, we prove that this predicted KPZ phase for OPO is robust against the appearance of vortices or other effects. For those pump strengths, first order spatial correlations perpendicular to the pump fit closely to the stretched exponential form predicted by the KPZ equation. This strongly indicates the viability of observing KPZ behaviour in future polariton OPO experiments.
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.
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.
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.
