Pumping approximately integrable systems

چکیده
Weak perturbations can drive an interacting many-particle system far from its initial equilibrium state if one is able to pump into degrees of freedom approximately protected by conservation laws. This concept has for example been used to realize Bose-Einstein condensates of photons, magnons and excitons. Integrable quantum systems, like the one-dimensional Heisenberg model, are characterized by an infinite set of conservation laws. Here, we develop a theory of weakly driven integrable systems and show that pumping can induce large spin or heat currents even in the presence of integrability breaking perturbations, since it activates local and quasi-local approximate conserved quantities. The resulting steady state is qualitatively captured by a truncated generalized Gibbs ensemble with Lagrange parameters that depend on the structure but not on the overall amplitude of perturbations nor the initial state. We suggest to use spin-chain materials driven by terahertz radiation to realize integrability-based spin and heat pumps.

ON CONVERGENCE THEOREMS FOR FUZZY HENSTOCK INTEGRALS
The main purpose of this paper is to establish different types of convergence theorems for fuzzy Henstock integrable functions, introduced by Wu and Gong cite{wu:hiff}. In fact, we have proved fuzzy uniform convergence theorem, convergence theorem for fuzzy uniform Henstock integrable functions and fuzzy monotone convergence theorem. Finally, a necessary and sufficient condition under which th...
متن کاملac electrokinetic micropumps: the effect of geometrical confinement, Faradaic current injection, and nonlinear surface capacitance.
Recent experiments have demonstrated that ac electrokinetic micropumps permit integrable, local, and fast pumping (velocities approximately mm/s) with low driving voltage of a few volts only. However, they also displayed many quantitative and qualitative discrepancies with existing theories. We therefore extend the latter theories to account for three experimentally relevant effects: (i) vertic...
متن کاملIntegrated Ultra-High-Q Optical Resonator
Optical microcavities are compact, often chipbased devices, that are essential in technologies spanning frequency metrology to biosensing. They have also enabled new science in quantum information and cavity optomechanics. Performance requirements in subjects like cavityQED and sensing have long placed emphasis on low-optical-loss (high-Q-factor) micrometer-scale resonators. However, an array o...
متن کاملGeneral soliton matrices in the Riemann–Hilbert problem for integrable nonlinear equations
We derive the soliton matrices corresponding to an arbitrary number of higherorder normal zeros for the matrix Riemann–Hilbert problem of arbitrary matrix dimension, thus giving the complete solution to the problem of higher-order solitons. Our soliton matrices explicitly give all higher-order multisoliton solutions to the nonlinear partial differential equations integrable through the matrix R...
