The response of a quantum system to a collision: an autonomous derivation of Kubo's formula
Samuel L. Jacob, John Goold
We study the response of a quantum system induced by a collision with a quantum particle, using the time-independent framework of scattering theory. After deriving the dynamical ma…

Thermodynamics of photoelectric devices
Samuel L. Jacob, Artur M. Lacerda, Yonatan Dubi +1
We study the nonequilibrium steady state thermodynamics of a photodevice which can operate as a solar cell or a photoconductor, depending on the degree of asymmetry of the junction…

Dephasing-assisted transport in a tight-binding chain with a linear potential
Samuel L. Jacob, Laetitia P. Bettmann, Artur M. Lacerda +4
An environment interacting with a quantum system can enhance transport through the suppression of quantum effects responsible for localization. In this paper, we study the interpla…
