The diffusion in the quantum Smoluchowski equation
A novel quantum Smoluchowski dynamics in an external, nonlinear potential has been derived recently. In its original form, this overdamped quantum dynamics is not compatible with the second law of thermodynamics if applied to periodic, but asymmetric ratchet potentials. An improved version of the quantum Smoluchowski equation with a modified diffusion function has been put forward in L. Machura...
متن کاملTransport of Forced Quantum Motors in the Strong Friction Limit∗
The directed transport of an overdamped Brownian motor moving in a spatially periodic potential that lacks reflection symmetry (i.e. a ratchet potential) is studied when driven by thermal and dichotomic nonequilibrium noise in the presence of an external, constant load force. We consider both, the classical and the quantum tunneling assisted regimes. The current-load characteristics are investi...
متن کاملQuantum diffusion in biased washboard potentials: strong friction limit.
Diffusive transport properties of a quantum Brownian particle moving in a tilted spatially periodic potential and strongly interacting with a thermostat are explored. Apart from the average stationary velocity, we foremost investigate the diffusive behavior by evaluating the effective diffusion coefficient together with the corresponding Peclet number. Corrections due to quantum effects, such a...

para o valor esperado de uma dada observável fı́sica A = A(p, q, t) representada pelo operador Â. As equações (1) e (2) são válidas desde que o potencial externo V varie vagarosamente dentro de um pacote de onda bem localizadoψPE (Pacote de Ehrenfest). Assim, de acordo com os livros-texto [1], as equações de Newton são obtidas como limite clássico da equação de Schrödinger. No entanto, Ballentin...
متن کاملReflections on Friction in Quantum Mechanics
Distinctly quantum friction effects of three types are surveyed: internal friction, measurement-induced friction, and quantum-fluctuation-induced friction. We demonstrate that external driving will lead to quantum internal friction, and critique the measurement-based interpretation of friction. We conclude that in general systems will experience internal and external quantum friction over and b...
