Nonreciprocal dynamics with weak noise: aperiodic "Escher cycles" and their quasipotential landscape
Janik Schüttler, Robert L. Jack, Michael E. Cates
We present an explicit construction of the Freidlin-Wentzell quasipotential of a stochastic system with two degrees of freedom and nonreciprocal interactions. This model undergoes…
Non-equilibrium pathways between cluster morphologies in active phase separation: necking, rupture and cavitation
Liheng Yao, Michael E. Cates, Robert L. Jack
We investigate the dynamical pathways of a morphological transition in a two-dimensional active lattice gas undergoing motility-induced phase separation. The transition is between…
Spontaneous Ratchet Currents and Transition Dynamics in Active Wetting
Noah Grodzinski, Robert L. Jack, Michael E. Cates
Self-propelled particles accumulate on repulsive barriers in so-called active wetting, whose relationship with equilibrium wetting remains unclear. Using an exact (noiseless) hydro…
Avalanche-like lithium intercalation and intraparticle correlations in graphite
Jiho Han, George S. Phillips, Alice J. Merryweather +5
Graphite is the most widely used anode material in lithium-ion batteries with over 98% market share. However, despite its first application over 30 years ago, the lithium insertion…
Exact large deviations and emergent long-range correlations in sequential quantum East circuits
Jimin Li, Bruno Bertini, Juan P. Garrahan +1
Exploiting quantum measurements is a promising route for preparation of correlated quantum states. We use methods from large deviation theory to solve this problem exactly for a sp…
Hydrodynamic theory of wetting by active particles
Noah Grodzinski, Michael E. Cates, Robert L. Jack
The accumulation of self-propelled particles on repulsive barriers is a widely observed feature in active matter. Despite being implicated in a broad range of biological processes,…
Entropy production rate in thermodynamically consistent flocks
Tal Agranov, Robert L. Jack, Michael E. Cates +1
We study the entropy production rate (EPR) of aligning self-propelled particles which undergo a flocking transition towards a polarized collective motion. In our thermodynamically…
Dynamical patterns and nonreciprocal effective interactions in an active-passive mixture through exact hydrodynamic analysis
James Mason, Robert L. Jack, Maria Bruna
The formation of dynamical patterns is one of the most striking features of nonequilibrium physical systems. Recent work has shown that such patterns arise generically from forces…
Effects of phase separation on extinction times in population models
Janik Schüttler, Robert L. Jack, Michael E. Cates
We study the effect of phase separating diffusive dynamics on the mean time to extinction in several reaction-diffusion models with slow reactions. We consider a continuum theory s…
Thermodynamically consistent flocking: From discontinuous to continuous transitions
Tal Agranov, Robert L. Jack, Michael E. Cates +1
We introduce a family of lattice-gas models of flocking, whose thermodynamically consistent dynamics admits a proper equilibrium limit at vanishing self-propulsion. These models ar…
Effects of random pinning on the potential energy landscape of a supercooled liquid
S. P. Niblett, V. K. de Souza, R. L. Jack +1
We use energy landscape methods to investigate the response of a supercooled liquid to random pinning. We classify the structural similarity of different energy minima using a meas…
