Symmetry breaking-induced N-body electrodynamic forces in optical matter systems

Abstract Breaking symmetry can give rise to non-reciprocal forces–unequal and opposite forces–typically observed in active matter systems involving asymmetric 2-body interactions. So far, there are few examples of N-body non-reciprocal forces induced by symmetry breaking. Here we show, through exper...
