# gst: apropos of transitions, when collisions can induce coherent dynamics.

<< In this paper (AA)  demonstrate a route to develop coherence in a system of non-driven oscillators. Here, the coherence is brought about via physical collisions through which the oscillators exchange energy. While coherence in the classical situations occurs due to sustained coupling terms in the dynamical equations, collision induced coherence is enabled solely through strong interactions that are of intermittent nature! >>

<< Very few studies (..) have attempted to study the contact dynamics during a collision. (AA) have generalized the framework of these experiments to demonstrate the collision-induced development of coherent dynamics in the simple one-dimensional arrangement of balls known as the Newton’s cradle. >>
