The quantum diffusion of a vortex in a two-component quantum fluid of light is investigated. In these systems, the Kerr nonlinearity promotes interactions between the photons, displaying features that are analogue of a Bose-Einstein condensates. Quantum fluids of light have the advantage of simulating matter-wave phenomena at room temperatures. While the analogy is true at the mean field level, the full quantum dynamics of an impurity in quantum fluids of light of, and therefore the ability of featuring genuine quantum noise, has never been considered. We numerically solve the problem by simulating a vortex-like impurity in the presence of noise with the Bogoliubov spectral density, and show that the vortex undergoes superdiffusion. We support our results with a theory that has been previously developed for the brownian motion of point-like particles.
