A living non-Newtonian matter like the cell cortex and tissues are driven out-of-equilibrium at multiple spatial and temporal scales. The stochastic dynamics of a particle embedded in such a medium are non-Markovian, given by a generalized…
We introduce a non-Markovianity measure for continuous variable open quantum systems based on the idea put forward in H.-P. Breuer et al., Phys. Rev. Lett.\textbf{103}, 210401 (2009), i.e., by quantifying the flow of information from the…

A non-equilibrium steady state can be characterized by a nonzero but stationary flux driven by a static external force. Under a weak external force, the drift velocity is difficult to detect because the drift motion is feeble and submerged…
Particle distributions in weakly collisional environments such as the magnetosphere have been observed to show deviations from the Maxwellian distribution. These can often be reproduced in kinetic simulations, but fluid models, which are…

Particle velocity distribution functions (VDF) in space plasmas often show non Maxwellian suprathermal tails decreasing as a power law of the velocity. Such distributions are well fitted by the so-called Kappa distribution. The presence of…
We study the collision frequencies of charged particles in the complex plasmas with the non-Maxwellian velocity distributions. The average collision frequencies of electron-ion, electron-electron and ion-ion are derived in the two-parameter…
