Thermoforesis from generalized Caldeira-Leggett models
Daniel Valente, MaurÃcio Matos, Maurício Matos +1
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…
Dissipative adaptation in a driven spin-boson model within the path-integral formalism
Elisa Iahn Goettems, Ricardo J. S. Afonso, Diogo O. Soares-Pinto +1
We investigate the dissipative adaptation hypothesis in a quantum regime using a system-reservoir approach. This hypothesis proposes that self-organization arises from a system's a…
Energetics of self-organization in a dissipative two-site quantum system driven by single-photon pulses
Thiago Ganascini, Wendel Lopes da Silva, Daniel Valente
Finding principles of nonequilibrium self-organization in dissipative quantum systems is an open problem. One example is the notion of quantum dissipative adaptation (QDA), that re…
Quantum thermophoresis
MaurÃcio 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…
