Improved master equation approach to quantum transport: from Born to self-consistent Born approximation.
Beyond the second-order Born approximation, we propose an improved master equation approach to quantum transport under self-consistent Born approximation. The basic idea is to replace the free Green's function in the tunneling self-energy diagram by an effective reduced propagator under the Born approximation. This simple modification has remarkable consequences. It not only recovers the exact ...
متن کاملQuantum master-equation approach to quantum transport through mesoscopic systems
For quantum transport through mesoscopic systems, a quantum master-equation approach is developed in terms of compact expressions for the transport current and the reduced density matrix of the system. The present work is an extension of Gurvitz’s approach for quantum transport and quantum measurement, namely, to finite temperature and arbitrary bias voltage. Our derivation starts from a second...
متن کاملExploring the limits of the self consistent Born approximation for inelastic electronic transport
The non equilibrium Green function formalism is today the standard computational method for describing elastic transport in molecular devices. This can be extended to include inelastic scattering by the so called self-consistent Born approximation (SCBA), where the interaction of the electrons with the vibrations of the molecule is assumed to be weak and it is treated perturbatively. The validi...
متن کاملFrom quantum master equation to random walk
It is shown in this paper that the quantum master equation can be mapped to a modified continuous time random walk (CTRW) if the relaxation term is composed of transitions over a set of states. When the Hamiltonian is time-independent and transitions are between its eigenlevels, such a modified CTRW reduces to the Markovian walk equivalent to the Pauli master equation. On the other hand, the me...
متن کاملTransport in molecular states language: Generalized quantum master equation approach
A simple scheme, capable of treating transport in molecular junctions in the language of many-body states, is presented. By introducing an ansatz in Liouville space, similar to the generalized Kadanoff-Baym approximation, a quantum master equation QME -like expression is derived starting from the exact equation of motion for Hubbard operators. Using an effective Liouville space propagation, a d...
