We consider a system of independent point-like particles performing a Brownian motion while interacting with a Gaussian fluctuating background. These particles are in addition endowed with a discrete two-state internal degree of freedom…
Discrete simulation methods are efficient tools to investigate the complex behaviors of complex fluids made of either dry granular materials or dilute suspensions. By contrast, materials made of soft and/or concentrated units (emulsions,…

The motivation for this study came from the task of analysing the kinetic behavior of single molecules in a living cell based on Single Molecule Localization Microscopy. Given measurements of both the motion of clusters and molecules, the…

Using the method of Brownian dynamics, we investigate the dynamic properties of a 2d suspension of active disks at high P\'eclet numbers using active microrheology. In our simulations the tracer particle is driven either by a constant or an…
Differently from passive Brownian particles, active particles, also known as self-propelled Brownian particles or microswimmers and nanoswimmers, are capable of taking up energy from their environment and converting it into directed motion.…
We study the classical dynamics of resonantly modulated large-spin systems in a strong magnetic field. We show that these systems have special symmetry. It leads to characteristic nonlinear effects. They include abrupt switching between…
Active matter systems under confinement display persistent surface motion and a strong boundary affinity. However, despite extensive studies of their positional dynamics, much less attention has been given to the corresponding orientational…
Active swarms, consisting of individual agents which consume energy to move or produce work, are known to generate a diverse range of collective behaviors. Many examples of active swarms are biological in nature (e.g., fish shoals and bird…
This paper is concerned with two related types of directed polymers in a random medium. The first one is a d-dimensional Brownian motion living in a random environment which is Brownian in time and homogeneous in space. The second is a…
We develop a theory of spin noise spectroscopy of itinerant, noninteracting, spin-carrying fermions in different regimes of temperature and disorder. We use kinetic equations for the density matrix in spin variables. We find a general…
A distinguishing feature of active particles is the nature of the non-equilibrium noise driving their dynamics. Control of these noise properties is, therefore, of both fundamental and applied interest. We demonstrate emergent tuning of the…
Combining experiments on active colloids, whose propulsion velocity can be controlled via a feedback loop, and theory of active Brownian motion, we explore the dynamics of an overdamped active particle with a motility that depends…
Self-propelled active matter can exhibit vastly different behavior than systems with purely Brownian motion. In Eur. Phys. J. E 40, 23 (2017), Zeitz, Wolf, and Stark compared an active matter particle with a Brownian particle moving in a…
It is generally believed that dispersive polarimetric detection of collective angular momentum in large atomic spin systems gives rise to: squeezing in the measured observable, anti-squeezing in a conjugate observable, and collective spin…
We present a general theory of multiorbital spin waves in magnetically ordered metallic systems. Motivated by the itinerant magnetism of iron-based superconductors, we compare the magnetic excitations for two different scenarios: when the…
