Chiral active particles with non-reciprocal couplings: results from particle-based simulations — •Kim L. Kreienkamp and Sabine H. L. Klapp — Technische Universität Berlin, Germany

Non-reciprocal interactions manifest their drastic impact on the collective dynamics of active matter systems by changing, for example, the general type of observed instabilities [1] and leading to time-dependent states [2,3]. In particular, the combination of non-reciprocity and chirality in terms of intrinsically rotating chiral active particles (``circle swimmers'') reveals intriguing non-trivial time-dependent collective dynamics [1].

After having developed an understanding of the collective dynamics on the continuum level in previous work [1], we here present first results of particle-based simulations of chiral active particle systems with non-reciprocal alignment couplings. Indeed, quantitative predictions from continuum approaches are somewhat limited by the approximations made during the coarse-graining process. Thus, the first goal of our particle-based simulations is to explore the validity of the previously obtained continuum results regarding the overall state diagram. Second, we aim at investigating microscopic aspects of the various time-dependent states. Finally, we discuss possibilities to characterize the thermodynamic behavior of the non-reciprocal chiral system based on the stochastic trajectories obtained in particle-resolved simulations.
