We report a new type of fluid-based driven dissipative oscillator system consisting of a lattice of millimetric fluid droplets bouncing on a vertically vibrating liquid bath and bound within an annular ring. We characterize the system behavior as it is energized through a progressive increase in the baths vibrational acceleration. Depending on the number of drops, the onset of motion of the lattice may take the form of either out-of-phase oscillations or a striking solitary wave-like instability. Theoretical modeling demonstrates that these behaviors may be attributed to different bifurcations at the onset of instability. The results presented here demonstrate the potential and utility of the walking droplet system as a platform for investigating wave-mediated, inertial, non-equilibrium particle dynamics at the macroscale.

Confined active nematics exhibit rich dynamical behavior, including spontaneous flows, periodic defect dynamics, and chaotic `active turbulence. Here, we study these phenomena using the framework of Exact Coherent Structures, which has been successfu
l in characterizing the routes to high Reynolds number turbulence of passive fluids. Exact Coherent Structures are stationary, periodic, quasiperiodic, or traveling wave solutions of the hydrodynamic equations that, together with their invariant manifolds, serve as an organizing template of the dynamics. We compute the dominant Exact Coherent Structures and connecting orbits in a pre-turbulent active nematic channel flow, which enables a fully nonlinear but highly reduced order description in terms of a directed graph. Using this reduced representation, we compute instantaneous perturbations that switch the system between disparate spatiotemporal states occupying distant regions of the infinite dimensional phase space. Our results lay the groundwork for a systematic means of understanding and controlling active nematic flows in the moderate to high activity regime.
Conspectus: The ability to navigate in chemical gradients, called chemotaxis, is crucial for the survival of microorganisms. It allows them to find food and to escape from toxins. Many microorganisms can produce the chemicals to which they respond th
emselves and use chemotaxis for signalling which can be seen as a basic form of communication. Remarkably, the past decade has let to the development of synthetic microswimmers like e.g. autophoretic Janus colloids, which can self-propel through a solvent, analogously to bacteria and other microorganims. The mechanism underlying their self-propulsion involves the production of certain chemicals. The same chemicals involved in the self-propulsion mechanism also act on other microswimmers and bias their swimming direction towards (or away from) the producing microswimmer. Synthetic microswimmers therefore provide a synthetic analogue to chemotactic motile microorganisms. When these interactions are attractive, they commonly lead to clusters, even at low particle density. These clusters may either proceed towards macrophase separation, resembling Dictyostelium aggregation, or, as shown very recently, lead to dynamic clusters of self-limited size (dynamic clustering) as seen in experiments in autophoretic Janus colloids. Besides the classical case where chemical interactions are attractive, this Account discusses, as its main focus, repulsive chemical interactions, which can create a new and less known avenue to pattern formation in active systems leading to a variety of pattern, including clusters which are surrounded by shells of chemicals, travelling waves and more complex continously reshaping patterns. In all these cases `synthetic signalling can crucially determine the collective behavior of synthetic microswimmer ensembles and can be used as a design principle to create patterns in motile active particles.
Two-dimensional semiconductor quantum dots are studied in the the filling-factor range 2<v<3. We find both theoretical and experimental evidence of a collective many-body phenomenon, where a fraction of the trapped electrons form an incompressible sp
in-droplet on the highest occupied Landau level. The phenomenon occurs only when the number of electrons in the quantum dot is larger than ~30. We find the onset of the spin-droplet regime at v=5/2. This proposes a finite-geometry alternative to the Moore-Read-type Pfaffian state of the bulk two-dimensional electron gas. Hence, the spin-droplet formation may be related to the observed fragility of the v=5/2 quantum Hall state in narrow quantum point contacts.
We study the statistical mechanics and the dynamical relaxation process of modulationally unstable one-dimensional quantum droplets described by a modified Gross-Pitaevskii equation. To determine the classical partition function thereof, we leverage
the semi-analytical transfer integral operator (TIO) technique. The latter predicts a distribution of the observed wave function amplitudes and yields two-point correlation functions providing insights into the emergent dynamics involving quantum droplets. We compare the ensuing TIO results with the probability distributions obtained at large times of the modulationally unstable dynamics as well as with the equilibrium properties of a suitably constructed Langevin dynamics. We find that the instability leads to the spontaneous formation of quantum droplets featuring multiple collisions and consecutively are found to coalesce at large evolution times. Our results from the distinct methodologies are in good agreement aside from the case of low temperatures in the special limit where the droplet widens. In this limit, the distribution acquires a pronounced bimodal character, exhibiting a deviation between the TIO solution and the Langevin dynamics still captured by the modified Gross-Pitaevskii framework.
We predict that Lee-Huang-Yang effect makes it possible to create stable quantum droplets (QDs) in binary Bose-Einstein condensates with a hetero-symmetric or hetero-multipole structure, i.e., different vorticities or multipolarities in their compone
nts. The QDs feature flat-top shapes when either chemical potential mu_1,2 of the droplet approaches an edge of a triangular existence domain in the (mu_1,mu_2) plane. QDs with different vorticities of their components are stable against azimuthal perturbations, provided that the norm of one component is large. We also present multipole states, in which the interaction with a strong fundamental component balances the repulsion between poles with opposite signs in the other component, leading to the formation of stable bound states. Extended stability domains are obtained for dipole QDs; tripole ones exist but are unstable, while quadrupoles are stable in a narrow region. The results uncover the existence of much richer families of stable binary QDs in comparison to states with identical components.
