Analysis reveals a new order parameter linking phase transition to fr"ohlich condensation in bosons, indicating significant nonequilibrium properties.
Nonequilibrium condensates of bosons subject to energy pump and dissipation are investigated, manifesting the Fr\"ohlich coherence proposed in 1968. A quantum theory is developed to capture such a nonequilibrium nature, yielding a certain graphic structure arising from the detailed-balance breaking. The results show a network of probability curl fluxes that reveals a graph topology. The winding number associated with the flux network is thus identified as a new order parameter for the phase transition towards the Fr\"ohlich condensation (FC), not attainable by the symmetry breaking. Our work demonstrates a global property of the FCs, in conjunction with the coherence of cavity polaritons that may exhibit robust cooperative phases driven far from equilibrium.
