Implementation of Optimal Thermal Radiation Pumps using Adiabatically Modulated Photonic Cavities
Lucas J. Fernández-Alcázar, Huanan Li, Mona Nafari +1
We numerically implement the concept of thermal radiation pumps in realistic photonic circuits and demonstrate their efficiency to control the radiation current, emitted between tw…
Thermal Motors with Enhanced Performance due to Engineered Exceptional Points
Lucas J. Fernández-Alcázar, Rodion Kononchuk, Tsampikos Kottos
A thermal current, generated by a temperature gradient between two reservoirs coupled to a carefully designed photonic or (micro-) electromechanical circuit, might induce non-conse…
Nonequilibrium current-induced forces caused by quantum localization: Anderson Adiabatic Quantum Motors
Lucas J. Fernández-Alcázar, Horacio M. Pastawski, Raúl A. Bustos-Marún
In recent years there has been an increasing interest in nanomachines. Among them, current-driven ones deserve special attention as quantum effects can play a significant role ther…
Dynamics and decoherence in nonideal Thouless quantum motors
Lucas J. Fernández-Alcázar, Horacio M. Pastawski, Raúl A. Bustos-Marún
Different proposals for adiabatic quantum motors (AQMs) driven by DC currents have recently attracted considerable interest. However, the systems studied are often based on simplif…
Decoherent time-dependent transport beyond the Landauer-Büttiker formulation: a quantum-drift alternative to quantum jumps
Lucas J. Fernández-Alcázar, Horacio M. Pastawski
We present a model for decoherence in time-dependent transport. It boils down into a form of wave function that undergoes a smooth stochastic drift of the phase in a local basis, t…
