Quantum energy flow in mesoscopic dielectric structures
We investigate the phononic energy transport properties of mesoscopic, suspended dielectric wires. The Landauer formula for the thermal conductance is derived and its universal aspects discussed. We then determine the variance of the energy current in the presence of a steady state current flow. In the final part, some initial results are presented concerning the nature of the temperature fluct...
متن کاملMesoscopic systems: classical irreversibility and quantum coherence.
Mesoscopic physics is a sub-discipline of condensed-matter physics that focuses on the properties of solids in a size range intermediate between bulk matter and individual atoms. In particular, it is characteristic of a domain where a certain number of interacting objects can easily be tuned between classical and quantum regimes, thus enabling studies at the border of the two. In magnetism, suc...
متن کاملOverview: Energy Absorption by Driven Mesoscopic Systems
The wall formula for the calculation of friction in nuclear physics [1], and the Drude formula for the calculation of conductance in mesoscopic physics, are just two special results of a much more general formulation of ‘dissipation theory’. The general formulation is as follows: Assume a time-dependent chaotic HamiltonianH(Q,P ;x(t)) with x(t)=V t. Assume also that V is slow in a classical sen...
متن کاملQuantum master-equation approach to quantum transport through mesoscopic systems
For quantum transport through mesoscopic systems, a quantum master-equation approach is developed in terms of compact expressions for the transport current and the reduced density matrix of the system. The present work is an extension of Gurvitz’s approach for quantum transport and quantum measurement, namely, to finite temperature and arbitrary bias voltage. Our derivation starts from a second...
متن کاملQuantum energy flow, dissipation and decoherence in mesoscopic dielectric structures
We first present a summary of recent results concerning the phononic energy transport properties of mesoscopic, suspended dielectric wires. We then discuss some related open problems concerning the fundamental lower limits on the vibrational damping rates of submicron-sized cantilever structures and also the possibility to create and detect quantum superpositions of spatially separated states f...
