We study the two-dimensional Langevin dynamics of a mixture of two types of particles with different temperatures and find that the system evolves into a peculiar non-equilibrium steady-state. The particles experience rotational motion due to the influence of a non-zero local curl, similar to spinning top toys, and show emergent cooperative behavior in the spatial components of the probability currents for the dissimilar species.
We study the two-dimensional Langevin dynamics of a mixture of two types of particles that live respectively at two different temperatures. Dynamics is constrained by an optical trap and the dissimilar species interact via a quadratic potential. We realize that the system evolves toward a peculiar non-equilibrium steady-state with a non-zero probability current possessing a non-zero curl. This implies that if the particles were to have a finite-size and therefore a rotational degree of freedom, they would experience a torque generated by the non-zero local curl and spin around their geometric centers, like 'spinning top' toys. Our analysis shows that the spinning motion is correlated and also reveals an emerging cooperative behavior of the spatial components of the probability currents of dissimilar species.
