Active systems are driven out of equilibrium by exchanging energy and momentum with their
environment. This endows them with anomalous mechanical properties that are reviewed in …

Recently, non-reciprocal systems have become a focus of growing interest. Examples occur
in soft and active matter, but also in engineered quantum materials and neural (brain) …

Exact analytic calculation shows that optimal control protocols for passive molecular systems
often involve rapid variations and discontinuities. However, similar analytic baselines are not …

We consider the statics and dynamics of a single particle trapped in a one-dimensional
harmonic potential, and subjected to a driving noise with memory, that is represented by a …

Nonreciprocal systems exhibit diverse dynamical phases whose character depends on the
type and degree of nonreciprocity. In this study, we theoretically investigate dynamical …

Siegmund duality for physicists: a bridge between spatial and first-passage properties of
continuous- and discrete-time stochastic processes - IOPscience Skip to content IOP Science …

We show that the formation of active matter structures requires them to modify their
surroundings by creating inhomogeneities such as concentration gradients and fluid flow …

Using computer simulation and analytical theory, we study an active analog of the well-
known Tonks gas, where active Brownian particles are confined to a periodic one …

We consider a generic one-dimensional stochastic process $ x (t) $, or a random walk $ X_n
$, which describes the position of a particle evolving inside an interval $[a, b] $, with …

Social organisms which construct nests consisting of tunnels and chambers necessarily
navigate confined and crowded conditions. Unlike low density collectives like bird flocks and …
