Abstract
We study the critical exponents in the universal scaling laws of a holographic non-equilibrium steady state nearby its critical point of phase transition, which is driven by an AC electric field sitting in the boundary of the bulk. The applied electric filed drives the initial superconducting state into a non-equilibrium steady state with vanishing condensate as its amplitude is greater than a critical value. In the vicinity of the non-equilibrium critical point, we numerically calculate the six static and one dynamical critical exponents, and find that they have similar values to those in equilibrium systems within numerical errors.
