Random walks of particles on a lattice are a classical paradigm for the microscopic mechanism underlying diffusive processes. In deterministic walks, the role of space and time can be reversed, and the microscopic dynamics can produce quite…
We analyze quantum droplets formed in a two-dimensional symmetric mixture of Bose-Einstein condensed atoms. For sufficiently large atom numbers, these droplets exhibit a flat-top density profile with sharp boundaries governed by surface…

The dynamics of a discrete-time quantum walk (DTQW) can be realized within a purely classical interacting particle system composed of some boxes and a large but finite number of balls, and can, in principle, be implemented in a tabletop…
Anomalous diffusion phenomena have been observed in many complex physical and biological systems. One significant advance recently is the physical extension of particle's motion in static medium to uniformly (and even nonuniformly)…
We consider a colony of point-like self-propelled surfactant particles (swimmers) without direct interactions that cover a thin liquid layer on a solid support. Although the particles predominantly swim normal to the free film surface,…
We investigate the descent of a single droplet on a vertical fiber and its role in generating additional droplets. As the droplet slides, it deposits a non-uniform liquid film whose thickness decreases along the fiber. The thicker portion…

The Active Brownian Particle (ABP) model has become a prototype of self-propelled particles. ABPs move persistently at a constant speed $V$ along a direction that changes slowly by rotational diffusion, characterized by a coefficient $\Dr$.…
When a volatile droplet is deposited on a floating swellable sheet, it becomes asymmetric, lobed and mobile. We describe and quantify this phenomena that involves nonequilibrium swelling, evaporation and motion, working together to realize…
We study dynamics of a classical particle in a one-dimensional potential, which is composed of two periodic components, that are time-independent, have equal amplitudes and periodicities. One of them is externally driven by a random force…
It is known from quantum mechanics that particles are associated with wave functions, and that the probability of observing a particle at some future location is proportional to the squared modulus of the amplitude of its wave function.…
The quantum dynamics of two-level systems under classical oscillator heat bath is mapped to the classical one of a charged particle under harmonic oscillator potential plus a magnetic field in a plane. The behavior of eigenstates and…
We investigate the collective dynamics of self-propelled droplets, confined in a one dimensional micro-fluidic channel. On one hand, neighboring droplets align and form large trains of droplets moving in the same direction. On the other…
The dynamics of quantum droplets in 1D is analyzed on the basis of the variational approach (VA). It is shown that the VA based on the super-Gaussian function gives a good approximation of stationary states. The period of small oscillations…
We numerically study the dynamics of a three-dimensional contractile fluid droplet in the bulk and under confinement. We show that varying activity leads to a variety of shapes and motile regimes whose motion is driven by an interplay…
