Quantum Brownian motion in a temperature gradient
Ricardo J. S. Afonso, Pedro V. Paraguassú, Thiago Werlang +1
When a classical Brownian particle is subjected to a temperature gradient it can undergo thermophoresis, i.e., the particle gets transported towards the colder regions of the envir…
Thermoforesis from generalized Caldeira-Leggett models
Daniel Valente, Maurício Matos, Thiago Werlang
The standard Caldeira-Leggett model addresses the problem of Brownian motion in a thermal equilibrium environment. Here, we look for generalizations of the Caldeira-Leggett model t…
Dissipative adaptation in a driven spin-boson model within the path-integral formalism
Elisa Iahn Goettems, Ricardo J. S. Afonso, Diogo O. Soares-Pinto +1
We investigate the dissipative adaptation hypothesis in a quantum regime using a system-reservoir approach. This hypothesis proposes that self-organization arises from a system's a…
