A classical wave-particle entity in the form of a millimetric walking droplet can emerge on the free surface of a vertically vibrating liquid bath. Such wave-particle entities have been shown to exhibit hydrodynamic analogs of quantum systems. Using an idealized theoretical model of this wave-particle entity in a tilted potential, we explore its transport behavior. The integro-differential equation of motion governing the dynamics of the wave-particle entity transforms to a Lorenz-like system of ordinary differential equations that drives the particle's velocity. Several anomalous transport regimes such as absolute negative mobility, differential negative mobility, and lock-in regions corresponding to force-independent mobility are observed. These observations motivate experiments in the hydrodynamic walking-droplet system for the experimental realizations of anomalous transport phenomena.

A classical wave-particle entity (WPE) can materialize as a millimeter-sized droplet walking horizontally on the free surface of a vertically vibrating liquid bath. This WPE comprises a particle (droplet) that shapes its environment by locally exciting decaying standing waves, which, in turn, guides the particle motion. At high amplitude of bath vibrations, the particle-generated waves decay very slowly in time and the particle motion is influenced by the history of waves along its trajectory.

A classical wave-particle entity (WPE) can be realized experimentally as a droplet walking on the free surface of a vertically vibrating liquid bath, with the droplet's horizontal walking motion guided by its self-generated wave field. These self-propelled WPEs have been shown to exhibit analogs of several quantum and optical phenomena. Using an idealized theoretical model that takes the form of a Lorenz-like system, we theoretically and numerically explore the dynamics of such a one-dimensional WPE in a sinusoidal potential.

As a fundamental characteristic of physical entities, wave‒particle duality describes whether a microscopic entity exhibits wave or particle attributes depending on the specific experimental setup. This assumption is premised on the notion that physical properties are inseparable from the objective carrier. However, after the concept of the quantum Cheshire cats was proposed, which makes the separation of physical attributes from the entity possible, the premise no longer holds.

Vertically vibrating a liquid bath can give rise to a self-propelled wave-particle entity on its free surface. The horizontal walking dynamics of this wave-particle entity can be described adequately by an integro-differential trajectory equation. By transforming this integro-differential equation of motion for a one-dimensional wave-particle entity into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), we show the emergence of Lorenz-like dynamical systems for various spatial wave forms of the entity.
