One standard approach to describe the collective behaviour of self-propelled particles is the Vicsek model: point-like self-propelled particles tend to align their migration directions to the ones of their nearer neighbours at each…

We develop a multi order parameter mean-field formalism for systems of coupled quantum rotors. The scheme is developed to account for systems where {\it ortho-para} distinction is valid. We apply our formalism to solid H$_2$ and D$_2$. We…
