Quantum Analysis and Nonequilibrium Response
نویسنده
چکیده
The quantum derivatives of e, A and logA, which play a basic role in quantum statistical physics, are derived and their convergence is proven for an unbounded positive operator A in a Hilbert space. Using the quantum analysis based on these quantum derivatives, a basic equation for the entropy operator in nonequilibrium systems is derived, and Zubarev’s theory is extended to infinite order with respect to a perturbation. Using the first-order term of this general perturbational expansion of the entropy operator, Kubo’s linear response is rederived and expressed in terms of the inner derivation δH for the relevant Hamiltonian H. Some remarks on the conductivity σ(ω) are given.

Bistability in the Electric Current through a Quantum-Dot Capacitively Coupled to a Charge-Qubit
We investigate the electronic transport through a single-level quantum-dot which is capacitively coupled to a charge-qubit. By employing the method of nonequilibrium Green's functions, we calculate the electric current through quantum dot at finite bias voltages. The Green's functions and self-energies of the system are calculated perturbatively and self-consistently to the second order of inte...
متن کاملTheoretical computation of the quantum transport of zigzag mono-layer Graphenes with various z-direction widths
The quantum transport computations have been carried on four different width of zigzag graphene using a nonequilibrium Green’s function method combined with density functional theory. The computed properties are included transmittance spectrum, electrical current and quantum conductance at the 0.3V as bias voltage. The considered systems were composed from one-layer graphene sheets differing w...
متن کاملFocus on nonequilibrium fluctuation relations: from classical to quantum
Thefluctuation dissipation theorem is at the heart of equilibrium statisticalmechanics. For a system away from thermal equilibrium, generalized nonequilibrium fluctuation relations have been found in recent years. Fluctuation relations reveal the fundamental connection between the response of a physical system to aweak externally applied force and the fluctuations in the systemwithout the exter...

متن کاملGeneralized clausius inequality for nonequilibrium quantum processes.
We show that the nonequilibrium entropy production for a driven quantum system is larger than the Bures length, the geometric distance between its actual state and the corresponding equilibrium state. This universal lower bound generalizes the Clausius inequality to arbitrary nonequilibrium processes beyond linear response. We further derive a fundamental upper bound for the quantum entropy pro...
