text: We present a model of soft active particles that leads to a rich array of
collective behavior found also in dense biological swarms of bacteria and other
unicellular organisms. Our model uses only local interactions, such as Vicsek-type
nearest-neighbor alignment, short-range repulsion, and a local boundary term.
Changing the relative strength of these interactions leads to migrating swarms,
rotating swarms, and jammed swarms, as well as swarms that exhibit run-and-tumble
motion, alternating between migration and either rotating or jammed states. Interestingly,
although a migrating swarm moves slower than an individual particle, the diffusion
constant can be up to three orders of magnitude larger, suggesting that collective
motion can be highly advantageous, for example, when searching for food.
