Exciton-polariton condensates under driven-dissipative conditions are predicted to belong to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class, the dynamics of the condensate phase satisfying the same equation as for classical stochastic…
The term 'KPZ' stands for the initials of three physicists, namely Kardar, Parisi and Zhang, which, in 1986 conjectured the existence of universal scaling behaviours for many random growth processes in the plane. A process is said to belong…

We re-examine mode-coupling theory for the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in the strong coupling limit and show that there exists two branches of solutions. One branch (or universality class) only exists for dimensionalities $d<d_c=2$…
