Quantum Smoluchowski equation for driven systems
Raoul Dillenschneider, Eric Lutz
We consider a driven quantum harmonic oscillator strongly coupled to a heat bath. Starting from the exact quantum Langevin equation, we use a Green's function approach to determine…
Fluctuation theorems: Work is not an observable
Peter Talkner, Eric Lutz, Peter Hanggi
The characteristic function of the work performed by an external time-dependent force on a Hamiltonian quantum system is identified with the time-ordered correlation function of th…
Analytical results for a Fokker-Planck equation in the small noise limit
Eric Lutz
We present analytical results for the lowest cumulants of a stochastic process described by a Fokker-Planck equation with nonlinear drift. We show that, in the limit of small fluct…
Power-law tail distributions and nonergodicity
Eric Lutz
We establish an explicit correspondence between ergodicity breaking in a system described by power-law tail distributions and the divergence of the moments of these distributions.
Anomalous diffusion and Tsallis statistics in an optical lattice
E. Lutz
We point out a connection between anomalous quantum transport in an optical lattice and Tsallis' generalized thermostatistics. Specifically, we show that the momentum equation for…
