The Quantum Dissipative Villain Model
G. Falci, G. Giaquinta, U. Weiss
We introduce the Quantum Dissipative Villain (QDV) model as a prototype model to study tunneling in dissipative quantum mechanics. Dissipation is provided by a coupled linear envir…

Duality in the Quantum Dissipative Villain Model and application to Mesoscopic Josephson Junction Circuits
G. Falci, U. Weiss
We study exact self duality in the model of a Brownian particle in a washboard (WB) potential which describes a Josephson Junction (JJ) coupled to an environment, for arbitrary tem…

Low-temperature transport of correlated electrons
R. Egger, M. Sassetti, U. Weiss
Transport properties of a single-channel Luttinger liquid impinging on a barrier have been studied for , where is the dimensionless interaction constant and $|ε| \ll…
