Quantum Thermodynamics of Electron Transport along Chains of Redox Centers
Fabrizio Cleri, Ralf Blossey, Stefano Giordano
Intramolecular electron transport in biological systems is typically described as a diffusive hopping process, according to the semi-classical rate theories of Marcus and Hopfield…
Generalized Geometric Brownian motion and the Infinite Ergodicity concept
S. Giordano, R. Blossey
We investigate stochastic processes that generalize geometric Brownian motion, focusing on cases where the standard invariant measure, i.e. the solution of the stationary Fokker-Pl…
Boltzmann to Lindblad: Classical and Quantum Approaches to Out-of-Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics
Stefano Giordano, Giuseppe Florio, Giuseppe Puglisi +2
Open quantum systems play a central role in contemporary nanoscale technologies, including molecular electronics, quantum heat engines, quantum computation and information processi…
Explicit noise and dissipation operators for quantum stochastic thermodynamics
Stefano Giordano, Fabrizio Cleri, Ralf Blossey
The theory of open quantum systems plays a fundamental role in several scientific and technological disciplines, from quantum computing and information science to molecular electro…
Surface polarization strongly influences electrostatics in a nonlocal medium
Ali Behjatian, Ralf Blossey, Madhavi Krishnan
Electrostatics in the solution phase is governed by free electrical charges such as ions, as well as by bound charges that arise when a polarizable medium responds to an applied fi…
The effective diffusion constant of stochastic processes with spatially periodic noise
Stefano Giordano, Ralf Blossey
We discuss the effective diffusion constant for stochastic processes with spatially-dependent noise. Starting from a stochastic process given by a Langevin equation,…
