Geometric Thermodynamics of Cycles: Curvature and Local Thermodynamic Response
Eric R. Bittner
Classical thermodynamics contains familiar geometric relations associated with cyclic processes, most notably the identification of mechanical work with the area enclosed by a traj…

Noise-induced decoherence-free zones for anyons
Eric R. Bittner
We develop a stochastic framework for anyonic systems in which the exchange phase is promoted from a fixed parameter to a fluctuating quantity. Starting from the Stratonovich stoch…

Fractional Statistics and Electron Transfer at Topological Defects
Eric R. Bittner
We develop a theoretical framework for electron transfer (ET) at graphene defects, treating the surface as a Dirac cone with a localized defect state coupled to a vibrational envir…
