Comment on "Coherent Ratchets in Driven Bose-Einstein Condensates"

G. Benenti, G. Casati, S. Denisov +4

C. E. Creffield and F. Sols (Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 200601 (2009)) recently reported finite, directed time-averaged ratchet current, for a noninteracting quantum particle in a perio…

Thermalization and ergodicity in many-body open quantum systems

Marko Znidaric, Tomaz Prosen, Giuliano Benenti +2

We study thermalization in many-body quantum systems locally coupled to an external bath. It is shown that quantum chaotic systems do thermalize, that is, they exhibit relaxation t…

Quantum mechanics in phase space: First order comparison between the Wigner and the Fermi function

G. Benenti, G. Strini

The Fermi g_F(x,p) function provides a phase space description of quantum mechanics conceptually different from that based on the the Wigner function W(x,p). In this paper, we show…

A simple representation of quantum process tomography

Giuliano Benenti, Giuliano Strini

We show that the Fano representation leads to a particularly simple and appealing form of the quantum process tomography matrix , in that the matrix is real, the n…

Enhancement of transmission rates in quantum memory channels with damping

G. Benenti, A. D'Arrigo, G. Falci

We consider the transfer of quantum information down a single-mode quantum transmission line. Such quantum channel is modeled as a damped harmonic oscillator, the interaction betwe…

Charge and spin transport in strongly correlated one-dimensional quantum systems driven far from equilibrium

Giuliano Benenti, Giulio Casati, Tomaz Prosen +2

We study the charge conductivity in one-dimensional prototype models of interacting particles, such as the Hubbard and the t-V spinless fermion model, when coupled to some external…
