Transport and Dissipation in Quantum Pumps

This paper is about adiabatic transport in quantum pumps. The notion of “energy shift”, a self-adjoint operator dual to the Wigner time delay, plays a role in our approach: It determines the current, the dissipation, the noise and the entropy currents in quantum pumps. We discuss the geometric and topological content of adiabatic transport and show that the mechanism of Thouless and Niu for qua...

Quantum transport phenomena and their modeling

The physical foundations of the received models in semiconductor device modeling are reviewed, and their limitations for the simulation of small devices are discussed. The limitations result from non–local effects. These may be classified into classical non–localities, that arise far from equilibrium, and quantum–mechanical non– localities, that result from the wave nature of the charge carrier...
