Exciton-polariton fluids—which are composed of composite light–matter bosons—provide an experimental means for studying quantum fluids that are intrinsically out of equilibrium. These authors demonstrate the nucleation and dynamics of vortex–anti-vortex pairs in the flow of exciton-polaritons passing around an obstacle, and establish these systems as a platform for studying quantum turbulence.
