Gating a single-molecule transistor with individual atoms
Jesús Martínez-Blanco, Christophe Nacci, Steven C. Erwin +6
Transistors, regardless of their size, rely on electrical gates to control the conductance between source and drain contacts. In atomic-scale transistors, this conductance is exqui…
Quantum thermodynamics of the driven resonant level model
Anton Bruch, Mark Thomas, Silvia Viola Kusminskiy +2
We present a consistent thermodynamic theory for the resonant level model in the wide band limit, whose level energy is driven slowly by an external force. The problem of defining…
Langevin dynamics of a heavy particle and orthogonality effects
Mark Thomas, Torsten Karzig, Silvia Viola Kusminskiy
The dynamics of a classical heavy particle moving in a quantum environment is determined by a Langevin equation which encapsulates the effect of the environment-induced reaction fo…
Decoherence effects on weak value measurements in double quantum dots
Mark Thomas, Alessandro Romito
We study the effect of decoherence on a weak value measurement in a paradigm system consisting of a double quantum dot continuously measured by a quantum point contact. Fluctuation…
Scattering theory of adiabatic reaction forces due to out-of-equilibrium quantum environments
Mark Thomas, Torsten Karzig, Silvia Viola Kusminskiy +2
The Landauer-Buettiker theory of mesoscopic conductors was recently extended to nanoelectromechanical systems. In this extension, the adiabatic reaction forces exerted by the elect…
