摘要

The emergence of order from an initially uncorrelated state across a phase transition is a central problem in quantum many-body physics, particularly in multicomponent systems where interactions between components lead to rich nonequilibrium dynamics. While defect formation is known to follow universal scaling laws, prior studies have focused mainly on defect density, leaving their spatial organization largely unexplored. Here we show that gradually tuning the chemical potential in a two-dimensional binary Bose gas drives condensation into either a miscible or immiscible phase. In the immiscible regime, domains form whose number, size, and boundary length obey Kibble-Zurek (KZ) scaling and evolve self-similarly. In the miscible regime, vortices emerge with KZ scaling. In both cases, the spatial distribution of vortices and domains is well described by a Poisson point process with KZ-determined density. These results reveal universal features of far-from-equilibrium dynamics and provide a framework to characterize stochastic geometry in multicomponent quantum systems.
