Popis: We review current understanding of the non-equilibrium dynamics of collective quantum systems. We describe an approach based on the Hamiltonian formulation of superfluid hydrodynamics. It is shown that, in the presence of constant energy pumping, the nonlinear coupling of fluctuations in the density and entropy strongly affects the nonequilibrium dynamics of the system. We use the results obtained to analyze the properties of out-of-equilibrium superfluid 4He and of exciton polariton Bose-Einstein condensates, both in semiconductor quantum wells and in graphene layers in presence of high magnetic field.
