The dynamical scaling of quantum critical systems in thermal equilibrium may be inherited in the driven steady-state, leading to universal out-of-equilibrium behaviour. This attractive notion has been demonstrated in a number of cases upon which holography can provide a revealing perspective and new results. I will discuss the application of these ideas to a canonical 2-dimensional system driven out of equilibrium by the application of a strong in-plane electric field. I will focus upon the conditions required for the formation of a universal out of equilibrium steady state and its description using field theoretical and holographic methods. Non-trivial out-of-equilibrium universality is particularly apparent in current noise, which is dual to Hawking radiation in the gravitational system. |
