In noisy environments such as the cell, many processes involve target sites that are often hidden or inactive, and thus not always available for reaction with diffusing entities. To understand reaction kinetics in these situations, we study…
We consider a run-and-tumble particle on a half-line with an absorbing target at the origin. The particle has an internal velocity state that switches between two opposite values at Poisson-distributed times. The position of the particle…
We consider a run-and-tumble particle on a finite interval $[a,b]$ with two absorbing end points. The particle has an internal velocity state that switches between three values $v,0,-v$ at exponential times, thus incorporating positive…
A random search of a partially absorbing target by a run-and-tumble particle in a confined one-dimensional space is investigated. We analytically obtain the mean searching time, which shows a non-monotonic behavior as a function of the…
We study the statistics of the first-passage time of a single run and tumble particle (RTP) in one spatial dimension, with or without resetting, to a fixed target located at $L>0$. First, we compute the first-passage time distribution of a…
We solve the problem of first-passage time for run-and-tumble particles in one dimension. Exact expression is derived for the mean first-passage time in the general case, considering external force-fields and chemotactic-fields, giving rise…
The first hitting times of a stochastic process, i.e., the first time a process reaches a particular level, are of significant interest across various scientific disciplines, including biology, chemistry, and economics. We modify the…
We use a first-passage time approach to study the statistics of the trapping times induced by persistent motion of active particles colliding with flat boundaries. The angular first-passage time distribution and mean first-passage time is…
The first passage time for a single diffusing particle has been studied extensively, but the first passage time of a system of many diffusing particles, as is often the case in physical systems, has received little attention until recently.…
A one-dimensional run-and-tumble particle (RTP) switches randomly between a left and right moving state of constant speed $v$. This type of motion arises in a wide range of applications in cell biology, including the unbiased growth and…
The effects of Poissonian resetting at a constant rate $r$ on the reaction time between a Brownian particle and a stochastically gated target are studied. The target switches between a reactive state and a non-reactive one. We calculate the…
We show that the distribution of times for a diffusing particle to first hit an absorber is \emph{independent} of the direction of an external flow field, when we condition on the event that the particle reaches the target for flow away…
We investigate a quantum walk on a ring represented by a directed triangle graph with complex edge weights and monitored at a constant rate until the quantum walker is detected. To this end, the first hitting time statistics is recorded…
We study the stochastic dynamics of a particle with two distinct motility states. Each one is characterized by two parameters: one represents the average speed and the other represents the persistence quantifying the tendency to maintain…
We investigate the average time for the earliest particle to hit a spherical absorber when a homogeneous gas of freely diffusing particles with density $\rho$ and diffusivity $D$ is prepared in a deterministic state and is initially…
We study a one-dimensional run-and-tumble particle (RTP), which is a prototypical model for active system, moving within an arbitrary external potential. Using backward Fokker-Planck equations, we derive the differential equation satisfied…
In this paper we develop an encounter-based model of a run-and-tumble particle (RTP) confined to a finite interval $[0,L]$ with partially absorbing, sticky boundaries at both ends. We assume that the particle switches between two constant…
We solve for the statistics of the first detection of a quantum system in a particular desired state, when the system is subject to a projective measurement at independent identically distributed random time intervals. We present formulas…
We study the transport of many partially distinguishable and possibly interacting particles under the action of repeated projective measurements on a target space and investigate how the particles' interference affects the mean first…
For both Levy flight and Levy walk search processes we analyse the full distribution of first-passage and first-hitting (or first-arrival) times. These are, respectively, the times when the particle moves across a point at some given…
