Active bound states arising from transiently nonreciprocal pair interactions

Static nonreciprocal forces between particles generically drive persistent motion reminiscent of self-propulsion. Here, we demonstrate that reciprocity-breaking fluctuations about a reciprocal mean coupling strength are sufficient to generate this behavior in a minimal two-particle model, with the v...
