One-dimensional movement of interacting particles is a challenging problem where the correlation between particles induces non-trivial collective effects. In contrast to the single-file diffusion case, the pure ballistic single file…
The term single file (SF) dynamics refers to the motion of an assembly of particles through a channel with cross-section comparable to the particles' diameter. Single file diffusion (SFD) is then the diffusion of a tagged particle in a…

Single file diffusion (SFD) exhibits anomalously slow collective transport when particles are able to immobilize by binding and unbinding to the one-dimensional channel within which the particles diffuse. We have explored this system for…
The symmetric simple exclusion process (SEP) is a paradigmatic model of diffusion in a single-file geometry, in which the particles cannot cross. In this model, the study of currents have attracted a lot of attention. In particular, the…
In colloidal systems, Brownian motion emerges from the massive separation of time and length scales associated to characteristic dynamics of the solute and solvent constituents. This separation of scales produces several temporal regimes in…
Strong positional correlations between particles render the diffusion of a tracer particle in a single file anomalous and non-Markovian. While ensemble average observables of tracer particles are nowadays well understood, little is known…
