We study the 2d phase transition of a driven-dissipative system of exciton-polaritons under non-resonant pumping. Stochastic calculations are used to investigate the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless-like phase diagram for experimentally realistic parameters, with a special attention to the non-equilibrium features.

The Kibble-Zurek mechanism constitutes one of the most fascinating and universal phenomena in the physics of critical systems. It describes the formation of domains and the spontaneous nucleation of topological defects when a system is driven across
a phase transition exhibiting spontaneous symmetry breaking. While a characteristic dependence of the defect density on the speed at which the transition is crossed was observed in a vast range of equilibrium condensed matter systems, its extension to intrinsically driven-dissipative systems is a matter of ongoing research. In this work we numerically confirm the Kibble-Zurek mechanism in a paradigmatic family of driven-dissipative quantum systems, namely exciton-polaritons in microcavities. Our findings show how the concepts of universality and critical dynamics extend to driven-dissipative systems that do not conserve energy or particle number nor satisfy a detailed balance condition.
The Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless mechanism, in which a phase transition is mediated by the proliferation of topological defects, governs the critical behaviour of a wide range of equilibrium two-dimensional systems with a continuous symmetry, rang
ing from superconducting thin films to two-dimensional Bose fluids, such as liquid helium and ultracold atoms. We show here that this phenomenon is not restricted to thermal equilibrium, rather it survives more generally in a dissipative highly non-equilibrium system driven into a steady-state. By considering a light-matter superfluid of polaritons, in the so-called optical parametric oscillator regime, we demonstrate that it indeed undergoes a vortex binding-unbinding phase transition. Yet, the exponent of the power-law decay of the first order correlation function in the (algebraically) ordered phase can exceed the equilibrium upper limit -- a surprising occurrence, which has also been observed in a recent experiment. Thus we demonstrate that the ordered phase is somehow more robust against the quantum fluctuations of driven systems than thermal ones in equilibrium.
While the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition (BKT) has been under intense scrutiny for decades, unambiguous experimental signatures in magnetic systems remain elusive. Here, we investigate the interplay between electronic and magnetic degrees
of freedom near the BKT transition. Focusing on a metal with easy-plane ferromagnetic order, we establish a framework that accounts both for the coupling between the charge current and the flow of topological magnetic defects and for electron scattering on their inhomogeneous spin texture. We show that electron scattering is responsible for a temperature-dependent magnetoresistance effect scaling as the density of the topological defects, which is expected to increase dramatically above the BKT transition temperature. Our findings call for further experimental investigations.
We have considered two classical lattice-gas models, consisting of particles that carry multicomponent magnetic momenta, and associated with a two-dimensional square lattices; each site can host one particle at most, thus implicitly allowing for hard
-core repulsion; the pair interaction, restricted to nearest neighbors, is ferromagnetic and involves only two components. The case of zero chemical potential has been investigated by Grand--Canonical Monte Carlo simulations; the fluctuating occupation numbers now give rise to additional fluid-like observables in comparison with the usual saturated--lattice situation; these were investigated and their possible influence on the critical behaviour was discussed. Our results show that the present model supports a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition with a transition temperature lower than that of the saturated lattice counterpart due to the presence of ``vacancies; comparisons were also made with similar models studied in the literature.
The superfluid to normal fluid transition of dipolar bosons in two dimensions is studied throughout the whole density range using path integral Monte Carlo simulations and summarized in the phase diagram. While at low densities, we find good agreemen
t with the universal results depending only on the scattering length $a_s$, at moderate and high densities, the transition temperature is strongly affected by interactions and the elementary excitation spectrum. The results are expected to be of relevance to dipolar atomic and molecular systems and indirect excitons in quantum wells.
