Dynamics of relaxation and dressing of a quenched Bose polaron
Daniel Boyanovsky, David Jasnow, Xiao-Lun Wu +1
We study the non-equilibrium dynamics of relaxation and dressing of a mobile impurity suddenly immersed--or quenched-- into a zero temperature homogeneous Bose Einstein condensate…
An Element of Determinism in a Stochastic Flagellar Motor Switch
Li Xie, Tuba Altindal, Xiao-Lun Wu
Marine bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus uses a single polar flagellum to navigate in an aqueous environment. Similar to Escherichia coli cells, the polar flagellar motor has two stat…
Implications of 3-step swimming patterns in bacterial chemotaxis
Tuba Altindal, Li Xie, Xiao-Lun Wu
We recently found that marine bacteria Vibrio alginolyticus execute a cyclic 3-step (run- reverse-flick) motility pattern that is distinctively different from the 2-step (run-tumbl…
Swimming Efficiency of Bacterium Escherichia Coli
Suddhashil Chattopadhyay, Radu Moldovan, Chuck Yeung +1
We use in vivo measurements of swimming bacteria in an optical trap to determine fundamental properties of bacterial propulsion. In particular, we determine the propulsion matrix,…
Universal Distribution of Centers and Saddles in Two-Dimensional Turbulence
Michael Rivera, Xiao-Lun Wu, Chuck Yeung
The statistical properties of the local topology of two-dimensional turbulence are investigated using an electromagnetically forced soap film. The local topology of the incompressi…
Hysteretic transition from laminar to vortex shedding flow in soap films
Viktor K. Horváth, J. Rob Cressman, Walter I. Goldburg +1
There are different ways for fluid flow to become turbulent, but usually many instabilities take place before that. Among these instabilities the transition from laminar flow to vo…
