We start with a revision study of two coupled spin-$1/2$ under the influence of Kaplan-Shekhtman-Entin-Wohlman-Aharony (KSEA) interaction and a magnetic field. We first show the role of idle levels, i.e., levels that do not couple to the…
We derive a master equation for the motion of a polarizable particle weakly interacting with one or several strongly pumped cavity modes. We focus here on massive particles with complex internal structure such as large molecules and…
We experimentally investigate the distribution of the non-equilibrium work done by an external force on a mesoscopic system with many coupled degrees of freedom: a colloidal monolayer mechanically driven across a periodic light field. Since…
According to the wave-particle duality (WPD), quantum systems show both particle- and wave-like behavior, and cannot be described using only one of these classical concepts. Identifying quantum features that cannot be reproduced by any…

When pulling a particle in a driven granular fluid with constant force $F_{ex}$, the probe particle approaches a steady-state average velocity $v$. This velocity and the corresponding friction coefficient of the probe $\zeta=F_{ex}/v$ are…

We simulate macroscopic shear experiments in active nematics and compare them with microrheology simulations where a spherical probe particle is dragged through an active fluid. In both cases we define an effective viscosity: in the case of…
The efficiency of soft particles to stabilize emulsions is examined by measuring their desorption free energy, i.e., the mechanical work required to detach the particle from a fluid interface. Here, we consider rubber-like elastic as well…
