Active Particles Exhibit Anomalous Diffusion in the Presence of Soft Potentials

This 12-minute talk from the 10th Indian Statistical Physics Community Meeting explores how active particles demonstrate anomalous diffusion when interacting with soft environments. Presented by Poornachandra Sekhar Burada from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences, the presentation is part of a broader discussion meeting covering topics in statistical physics including out-of-equilibrium systems, transport theory, and anomalous diffusion. Gain insights into this specialized research area within the context of an annual gathering that brings together scientists, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students from across India working in statistical physics. The meeting encompasses diverse topics from quantum fluids and disordered systems to biological physics, soft matter, and interdisciplinary complex systems.
