The particle confinement χ is varied in the range [0.3, 0.75]. a Schematic of the set-up. The particle is initialised on the grey plane, which is located midway between the side walls. b Equilibrium positions \({\hat{z}}_{{{{\rm{eq}}}}}={z}_{{{{\rm{eq}}}}}/(H/2)\) as function of confinement χ. The particle remains on the mid-plane (y = 0) at all times
