Ramifications of disorder on active particles in one dimension

Y Ben Dor, E Woillez, Y Kafri, M Kardar, AP Solon - Physical Review E, 2019 - APS
The effects of quenched disorder on a single and many active run-and-tumble particles are
studied in one dimension. For a single particle, we consider both the steady-state …

Chiral edge waves in a dance-based human topological insulator

M Du, JB Pérez-Sánchez… - Science …, 2024 - science.org
Topological insulators are insulators in the bulk but feature chiral energy propagation along
the boundary. This property is topological in nature and therefore robust to disorder …

Stochastic topological systems in arrays of optical tweezers under thermal activation

M Gao, N Li, X Chen, H Cai, H Hu - Applied Optics, 2024 - opg.optica.org
Topology has become important in understanding condensed matter physics and photonics,
such as the quantum Hall effect. Recently, interest has grown in applying topology to …

Emergence of Sinai physics in the stochastic motion of passive and active particles

D Shapira, D Cohen - New Journal of Physics, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
A particle that is immersed in a uniform temperature bath performs Brownian diffusion, as
discussed by Einstein. But Sinai has realized that in a'random environment'the diffusion is …

Negative mobility, sliding, and delocalization for stochastic networks

D Boriskovsky, D Cohen - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
We consider prototype configurations for quasi-one-dimensional stochastic networks that
exhibit negative mobility, meaning that current decreases or even reversed as the bias is …
