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…
Asymmetric environment induces protein-like relaxation in spin chain
Daniel Valente, Thiago Werlang
Proteins are aminoacid chains that diffusively fold or unfold depending on the thermal and chemical environmental conditions. While sophisticated models account for detailed aspect…
