Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality in a two-component driven diffusive model

Abstract

We elucidate the universal spatio-temporal scaling properties of the time-dependent correlation functions in a two-component one-dimensional (1D) driven diffusive system that consists of two coupled asymmetric exclusion process. By using a perturbative renormalization group framework, we show that the relevant scaling exponents have values same as those for the 1D Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation. We thus establish that the model belongs to the 1D KPZ universality class.

Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality in two-component driven diffusive models: Symmetry and renormalization group perspectives

Pritha Dolai, Aditi Simha, Abhik Basu

We elucidate the universal spatiotemporal scaling properties of the time-dependent correlation functions in a class of two-component one-dimensional (1D) driven diffusive system that consists of two coupled asymmetric exclusion processes. By using a perturbative renormalization group framework, we show that the relevant scaling exponents have values same as those for the 1D Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation. We connect these universal scaling exponents with the symmetries of the model equations. We thus establish that these models belong to the 1D KPZ universality class.

Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation with temporally correlated noise: A nonperturbative renormalization group approach

Davide Squizzato, Léonie Canet

We investigate the universal behavior of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation with temporally correlated noise. The presence of time correlations in the microscopic noise breaks the statistical tilt symmetry, or Galilean invariance, of the original KPZ equation with δ-correlated noise (denoted SR-KPZ). Thus, it is not clear whether the KPZ universality class is preserved in this case. Conflicting results exist in the literature, some advocating that it is destroyed even in the limit of infinitesimal temporal correlations, while others find that it persists up to a critical range of such correlations. Using nonperturbative and functional renormalization group techniques, we study the influence of two types of temporal correlators of the noise: a short-range one with a typical timescale τ, and a power-law one with a varying exponent θ. We show that for the short-range noise with any finite τ, the symmetries (the Galilean symmetry, and the time-reversal one in 1+1 dimension) are dynamically restored at large scales, such that the long-distance and long-time properties are governed by the SR-KPZ fixed point. In the presence of a power-law noise, we find that the SR-KPZ fixed point is still stable for θ below a critical value θ_{th}, in accordance with previous renormalization group results, while a long-range fixed point controls the critical scaling for θ>θ_{th}, and we evaluate the θ-dependent critical exponents at this long-range fixed point, in both 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions. While the results in 1+1 dimension can be compared with previous studies, no other prediction was available in 2+1 dimension. We finally report in 1+1 dimension the emergence of anomalous scaling in the long-range phase.

Miscible-immiscible transition and nonequilibrium scaling in two-component driven open condensate wires

He, Liang, Sebastian Diehl

We investigate the steady state phase diagram of two-component driven open condensates (DOCs) in one dimension. We identify amiscible-immiscible transition which is predominantly driven by gapped density fluctuations and occurs upon increasing the inter-component dissipative coupling. Below the transition in the miscible phase, we find the effective long wavelength dynamics to be described by a two-component Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation that belongs to the nonequilibrium universality class of the one-dimensional single-component KPZ equation at generic choices of parameters. Our results are relevant for different experimental realizations for two-component DOCs in exciton-polariton systems.

Dynamic screening in a two-species asymmetric exclusion process

Kyung Hyuk Kim, Marcel den Nijs

The dynamic scaling properties of the one-dimensional Burgers equation are expected to change with the inclusion of additional conserved degrees of freedom. We study this by means of one-dimensional (1D) driven lattice gas models that conserve both mass and momentum. The most elementary version of this is the Arndt-Heinzel-Rittenberg (AHR) process, which is usually presented as a two-species diffusion process, with particles of opposite charge hopping in opposite directions and with a variable passing probability. From the hydrodynamics perspective this can be viewed as two coupled Burgers equations, with the number of positive and negative momentum quanta individually conserved. We determine the dynamic scaling dimension of the AHR process from the time evolution of the two-point correlation functions, and find numerically that the dynamic critical exponent is consistent with simple Kardar-Parisi-Zhang- (KPZ) type scaling. We establish that this is the result of perfect screening of fluctuations in the stationary state. The two-point correlations decay exponentially in our simulations and in such a manner that in terms of quasiparticles, fluctuations fully screen each other at coarse grained length scales. We prove this screening rigorously using the analytic matrix product structure of the stationary state. The proof suggests the existence of a topological invariant. The process remains in the KPZ universality class but only in the sense of a factorization, as (KPZ)2. The two Burgers equations decouple at large length scales due to the perfect screening.

Kardar-Parisi-Zhang superdiffusion in chaotic quantum circuits

Rustem Sharipov, Urban Duh, Sun Woo P. Kim +1 more

We construct a family of chaotic brickwork quantum circuits exhibiting superdiffusive transport with dynamical exponent $z=3/2$ in the full Kardar--Parisi--Zhang (KPZ) universality class. This is enabled by the equilibrium current associated with a inhomogeneous conserved density having a nontrivial dependence on the chemical potential. Using nonlinear fluctuating hydrodynamics, we derive the propagation velocity, broadening scale, and universal scaling form of the charge correlation function from microscopic equilibrium properties. Tensor-network simulations of a two-site spin-$1$ (qutrit) circuit reproduce these parameter-free predictions, including the full stationary KPZ profile. We further construct a three-site spin-$\frac12$ (qubit) circuit, where transport varies from diffusive to superdiffusive with the chemical potential, while long-lived coherent quasiparticles delay the convergence of the profile to the KPZ scaling form. Our results establish that KPZ superdiffusion in quantum systems is not restricted to fine-tuned integrable models.
