No-pumping theorem for many particle stochastic pumps

arXiv:1312.6852 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.112.050601

Abstract

Stochastic pumps are models of artificial molecular machines which are driven by periodic time variation of parameters, such as site and barrier energies. The no-pumping theorem states that no directed motion is generated by variation of only site or barrier energies [S. Rahav, J. Horowitz, and C. Jarzynski, Phys. Rev. Lett., 101, 140602 (2008)]. We study stochastic pumps of several interacting particles and demonstrate that the net current of particles satisfy an additional no- pumping theorem.
