Microscopic theory of soft run-and-tumble particles

Rosalba Garcia-Millan, Ziluo Zhang, Luca Cocconi +4

Soft, repulsive run-and-tumble particles display emergent effective interactions as they appear to stick to each other in spite of the absence of attractive forces. This effective…

Effective attraction by repulsion

Rosalba Garcia-Millan, Luca Cocconi, Ziluo Zhang +4

Repulsive self-propelled particles tend to cluster, leading to Motility-Induced Phase Separation (MIPS). By analogy with equilibrium phase separation, the onset of MIPS has been as…

Quo vadis, stochastic thermodynamics?

Jan Korbel, Artemy Kolchinsky, Sarah A. M. Loos +4

Stochastic thermodynamics is a framework for describing non-equilibrium processes at the level of fluctuating trajectories, where the state of a system evolves as a stochastic time…

Active particles in moving traps: minimum work protocols and information efficiency of work extraction

Janik Schüttler, Rosalba Garcia-Millan, Michael E. Cates +1

We revisit the elementary problem of moving a particle in a harmonic trap in finite time with minimal work cost, and extend it to the case of an active particle. By comparing the G…

Optimal closed-loop control of active particles and a minimal information engine

Rosalba Garcia-Millan, Janik Schüttler, Michael E. Cates +1

We study the elementary problem of moving an active particle by a trap with minimum work input. We show analytically that (open-loop) optimal protocols are not affected by activity…

Towards a liquid-state theory for active matter

Yuting Irene Li, Rosalba Garcia-Millan, Michael E. Cates +1

In equilibrium, the collective behaviour of particles interacting via steep, short-ranged potentials is well captured by the virial expansion of the free energy at low density. Her…
