Abstract
We analytically investigate the diffusive motion inferred from experimental observations of active particles driven by quantum vortices on the surface of superfluid helium. We first study the dynamical behavior of an active particle subject to a viscoelastic memory effect characterized by a power-law kernel. We then analyze the dynamics of an active particle under a uniform vortex force, thermal noise, and viscous dissipation subject to a power-law kernel. Next, by including a harmonic confining force, we obtain analytical solutions for the joint probability density in two distinct time regimes.
