The effect of quenched (frozen) orientational disorder on the collective motion of active particles is analyzed. We find that, as with annealed disorder (Langevin noise), active polar systems are far more robust against quenched disorder…

We show that incompressible polar active fluids can exhibit an ordered, coherently moving phase even in the presence of quenched disorder in two dimensions. Unlike such active fluids with annealed (i.e., time-dependent) disorder only, which…

We show that spatial quenched disorder affects polar active matter in ways more complex and far-reaching than believed heretofore. Using simulations of the 2D Vicsek model subjected to random couplings or a disordered scattering field, we…

Multiple experiments on active systems consider oriented active suspensions on substrates or in chambers confined along one direction. The theories of polar and apolar phases in such geometries were considered in A. Maitra et al, arXiv…

We examine the influence of quenched disorder on the flocking transition of dense polar active matter. We consider incompressible systems of active particles with aligning interactions under the effect of either quenched random forces or…

In quenched disordered systems, the existence of ordering is generally believed to be only possible in the weak disorder regime (disregarding models of spin-glass type). In particular, sufficiently large random fields is expected to…

Flocking is a prime example of how robust collective behavior can emerge from simple interaction rules. The flocking transition has been studied extensively since the inception of the original Vicsek model. Here, we introduce a novel…

In quenched disordered systems, the existence of ordering is generally believed to be only possible in the weak disorder regime (disregarding models of spin-glass type). In particular, sufficiently large random field is expected to prohibit…

We study the effect of quenched disorder in square artificial spin ice by means of numerical simulations. We introduce disorder in the length of magnetic islands using two kinds of distributions: Gaussian and uniform. As the system behavior…

The stability of antiferromagnetic long-range order against quenched disorder is considered. A simple model of an antiferromagnet with a spatially varying Neel temperature is shown to possess a nontrivial fixed point corresponding to…

We study the moving phase of two-dimensional (2D) incompressible polar active fluids in the presence of both quenched and annealed disorder. We show that long-range polar order persists even in this defect-ridden two-dimensional system. We…

We study a collection of polar self-propelled particles (SPPs) on a two-dimensional substrate in the presence of random quenched rotators. These rotators act like obstacles which rotate the orientation of the SPPs by an angle determined by…

The effects of quenched disorder on a single and many active run-and-tumble particles is studied in one dimension. For a single particle, we consider both the steady-state distribution and the particle's dynamics subject to disorder in…

We study the effects of disorder in two-dimensional quantum antiferromagnets on a square lattice, within the nonlinear sigma model approach, by using of a random distribution of spin stiffnesses or zero-temperature-spin-gaps, respectively,…

With quenched disorder, we introduce two-dimensional active nematics suspended in an incompressible fluid. We write the coarse-grained hydrodynamic equations of motion for slow variables, viz. density, orientation and flow fields. The…

Recent studies of active colloidal matter have revealed that a global polar order can arise from chemorepulsive interactions among particles without any explicit alignment interaction between them. In this work, we investigate such…

We introduce a two-dimensional active nematic with quenched disorder. We write the coarse-grained hydrodynamic equations of motion for slow variables, viz. density, and orientation. Disorder strength is tuned from zero to large values.…

We study the effect of quenched spatial disorder on the steady states of driven systems of interacting particles. Two sorts of models are studied: disordered drop-push processes and their generalizations, and the disordered asymmetric…

We consider the rich variety of collective motion patterns emerging when aligning active particles move in the presence of randomly distributed obstacles - representing quenched noise in two dimensions. In order to get insight into the…

We study the behaviour of two Brownian particles coupled by an elastic harmonic force in a quenched disordered medium. We found that to first order in disorder strength, the relative motion weakens (with respect to the reference state of a…
