The probabilities $P_\pm(t_0,t)$ that a growing Kardar-Parisi-Zhang interface remains above or below the mean height in the time interval $(t_0, t)$ are shown numerically to decay as $P_\pm \sim (t_0/t)^{\theta_\pm}$ with $\theta_+ = 1.18…
We determine the exact short-time distribution $-\ln \mathcal{P}_{\text{f}}\left(H,t\right)= S_{\text{f}} \left(H\right)/\sqrt{t}$ of the one-point height $H=h(x=0,t)$ of an evolving 1+1 Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) interface for flat initial…

Tracking the sign of fluctuations governed by the $(1+1)$-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class, we show, both experimentally and numerically, that its evolution has an unexpected link to a simple stochastic model called…
