The properties of the ground state of liquid $^4$He are studied using a correlated basis function of the form $\prod_{i<j} \psi(r_{ij})$. Here, $\psi(r)$ is chosen as the exact solution of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation for two $^4$He atoms.…

A harmonically trapped active Brownian particle exhibits two types of positional distributions -- one has a single peak, the other has a single well -- that signify steady-state dynamics with low and high activity, respectively. Adding…

Using an additivity property, we study particle-number fluctuations in a system of interacting self-propelled particles, called active Brownian particles (ABPs), which consists of repulsive disks with random self-propulsion velocities. From…

We study a model of Brownian particles which are pumped with energy by means of a non-linear friction function, for which different types are discussed. A suitable expression for a non-linear, velocity-dependent friction function is derived…
