Description
While the physics of classical active particles—such as bacteria,
synthetic Janus colloids, and bird flocks—is well-established via models like Active Brownian Motion (ABM), the extension of these principles to the quantum regime has only recently gained traction. This talk will first review the fundamental principles of classical self-propulsion, highlighting unique features of individual particle dynamics. We will then transition to new frameworks for Quantum Active Matter from Engineered Dissipation, presenting three specific models and demonstrating that they all recover the hallmark features of active motion.
