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…
Fundamental thermo-visco mechanical interactions governing the acoustic response of laser-excited nanoparticles
Stefano Giordano, Michele Diego, Francesco Banfi +1
In this work, we investigate the thermoacoustic generation and propagation of spherical waves in a viscous fluid induced by a laser-heated spherical particle. Periodic laser excita…
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…
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…
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,…
