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…
Quantum thermophoresis
Maurício Matos, Thiago Werlang, Daniel Valente
Thermophoresis is the migration of a particle due to a thermal gradient. Here, we theoretically uncover the quantum version of thermophoresis. As a proof of principle, we analytica…
Quantum dissipative adaptation with cascaded photons
Thiago Ganascini, Thiago Werlang, Daniel Valente
Classical dissipative adaptation is a hypothetical non-equilibrium thermodynamic principle of self-organization in driven matter, relating transition probabilities with the non-equ…
Emergence of energy-avoiding and energy-seeking behaviours in nonequilibrium dissipative quantum systems
Thiago Werlang, Maurício Matos, Frederico Brito +1
A longstanding challenge in nonequilibrium thermodynamics is to predict the emergence of self-organized behaviours and functionalities typical of living matter. Despite the progres…
Quantum dissipative adaptation
Daniel Valente, Frederico Brito, Thiago Werlang
Dissipative adaptation is a general thermodynamic mechanism that explains self-organization in a broad class of driven classical many-body systems. It establishes how the most like…
