Reduced Density Matrices and Phase-Space Distributions in Thermofield Dynamics
Bartosz BÅasiak, Dominik Brey, Rocco Martinazzo +1
Thermofield dynamics (TFD) is a powerful framework to account for thermal effects in a wavefunction setting, and has been extensively used in physics and quantum optics. TFD relies…

A Haldane-Anderson Hamiltonian Model for Hyperthermal Hydrogen Scattering from a Semiconductor Surface
Xuexun Lu, Nils Hertl, Sara Oregioni +5
Collisions of atoms and molecules with metal surfaces create electronic excitations in the metal, leading to nonadiabatic energy dissipation, inelastic scattering, and sticking. Mi…

Quantum rates in dissipative systems with spatially varying friction
Oliver Bridge, Paolo Lazzaroni, Rocco Martinazzo +3
We investigate whether making the friction spatially dependent on the reaction coordinate introduces quantum effects into the thermal reaction rates for dissipative reactions. Quan…
