| contents | Within a closed system, physical interactions are reciprocal. However, the effective interaction between two entities of an open system may not obey reciprocity. Here, we describe a non-reciprocal interaction between nanoparticles which is one-way, almost insensitive to the interparticle distance, and scalable to many particles. The interaction we propose is based on the non-conservative optical forces between two nanoparticles with highly directional scattering patterns. However, we elucidate that scattering patterns can in general be very misleading about the interparticle forces. We introduce zeroth- and first-order non-reciprocity factors to precisely quantify the merits of any optomechanical interaction between nanoparticles. Our proposed one-way interaction could constitute an important step in the realization of mesoscopic heat pumps and refrigerators, the study of non-equilibrium systems, and the simulation of non-Hermitian quantum models. |
