We develop a microscopic theory for the dynamics of quantum fluids of light, deriving an effective kinetic equation in momentum space that takes the form of the convection-diffusion equation. In the particular case of two-dimensional…

Alkali-metal atomic vapors are the foundation of an ever-growing range of applications, driven by a comprehensive understanding of their interaction with light. In particular, many models have been developed which characterize this…

Superfluid 3He-A and high-temperature superconductors both have gapless fermionic quasiparticles with the "relativistic" spectrum close to the gap nodes. The interaction of these "relaitivistic" fermions with bosonic collective modes of the…
