A Quincke roller is a unique active particle that can run and tumble freely on a flat plate due to the torque generated by a uniform DC electric field applied perpendicular to the plate. A system involving many such particles exhibits a…

We explore the concept of memory in scalar active matter, focusing on the collective dynamics of particles whose interactions depend on their evolutionary history rather than solely on their current configuration. We introduce the idea of…

We show that memory, in the form of underdamped angular dynamics, is a crucial ingredient for the collective properties of self-propelled particles. Using Vicsek-style models with an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process acting on angular velocity, we…

We analytically investigate the diffusive motion inferred from experimental observations of active particles driven by quantum vortices on the surface of superfluid helium. We first study the dynamical behavior of an active particle subject…

Dielectric particles suspended in a weakly conducting fluid are known to spontaneously start rotating under the action of a sufficiently strong uniform DC electric field due to the Quincke rotation instability. This rotation can be…

Large density fluctuations observed in active systems and hyperuniformity are two seemingly incompatible phenomena. However, the formation of hyperuniform states has been recently predicted in non-equilibrium fluids formed by chiral…

Wave-exciting is a universal phenomenon in physical and biological excitable systems. Here we show that colloidal systems of Quincke rollers which are driven periodically can condense into active liquids and active crystals, in which waves…

Bacteria can spontaneously develop collective motions by aligning their motions in dense systems. Here, we show that bacteria can also respond collectively to an alternating electrical field and form dynamic clusters oscillating at the same…

Dense bacterial suspensions exhibit turbulent-like flows at low Reynolds numbers, driven by the activity of the microswimmers. In this study, we develop a model system to examine these dynamics using motile colloids that mimic bacterial…

Dielectric particles in weakly conducting fluids rotate spontaneously when subject to strong electric fields. Such Quincke rotation near a plane electrode leads to particle translation that enables physical models of active matter. Here, we…

A model to study the dynamics of colloidal particles in nonuniform electric fields is proposed. For an isolated sphere, the conditions and threshold for sustained (Quincke) rotation in a linear direct current (dc) field are determined.…

We theoretically explore the dynamics of a chiral active Ornstein Uhlenbeck particle confined in a two-dimensional anisotropic harmonic trap. The particle is driven by chirality and is coupled to two orthogonal heat baths, potentially at…

Asymmetric obstacles can be exploited to direct the motion and induce sorting of run-and-tumbling particles. In this work, we show that flocking particles which follow the Vicsek model aligning rules experience a collective trapping in the…

The mechanical behavior of disordered materials such as dense suspensions, glasses or granular materials depends on their thermal and mechanical past. Here we report the memory behavior of a quenched mesoscopic elasto-plastic (QMEP) model.…

Swimmers and self-propelled particles are physical models for the collective behaviour and motility of a wide variety of living systems, such as bacteria colonies, bird flocks and fish schools. Such artificial active materials are amenable…

Coupling a qubit coherently to an ensemble is the basis for collective quantum memories. A driven quantum dot can deterministically excite low-energy collective modes of a nuclear spin ensemble in the presence of lattice strain. We propose…

Active matter physics has been developed with various types of self-propelled particles, including those with polar and bipolar motility and beyond. However, the bipolar motions experimentally realized so far have been either random along…

In active matter systems, self-propelled particles can self-organize to undergo collective motion, leading to persistent dynamical behavior out of equilibrium. In cells, cytoskeletal filaments and motor proteins self-organize into complex…

We describe simulations of active Brownian particles carried out to explore how dynamics and clustering are influenced by particle shape. Our particles are composed of four disks, held together by springs, whose relative size can be varied.…

We present a model of soft active particles that leads to a rich array of collective behavior found also in dense biological swarms of bacteria and other unicellular organisms. Our model uses only local interactions, such as Vicsek-type…
