Brownian-motion approach to statistical mechanics: Langevin equations, fluctuations, and timescales
Sushanta Dattagupta, Aritra Ghosh
We briefly review the problem of Brownian motion and describe some intriguing facets. The problem is first treated in its original form as enunciated by Einstein, Langevin, and oth…
Coherence-decoherence interplay in quantum systems due to projective stochastic pulses: The case of Rabi oscillations
Sushanta Dattagupta, Shamik Gupta
The interplay of coherence and decoherence is played out in a three-level quantum system, in which the third level is incoherently coupled to the second one which itself is in cohe…
Decoherence of Morse Oscillator in the Presence of Dissipationless Environment
Titir Mukherjee, Arnab Acharya, Sushanta Dattagupta
The much-studied Morse oscillator (MO) is couched here in the context of an open quantum system, in which the interaction with the quantum environment, however, is taken to commute…
Quantum transport under oscillatory drive with disordered amplitude
Vatsana Tiwari, Sushanta Dattagupta, Devendra Singh Bhakuni +1
We investigate the dynamics of non-interacting particles in a one-dimensional tight-binding chain in the presence of an electric field with random amplitude drawn from a Gaussian d…
Stochastic thermodynamics and the Ericsson nano engine -- Efficiency from equilibrium results
Jasleen Kaur, Aritra Ghosh, Sushanta Dattagupta +2
In this work, we study an Ericsson cycle whose working substance is a charged (quantum) oscillator in a magnetic field that is coupled to a heat bath. The resulting quantum Langevi…
