Smoluchowski equation approach for quantum Brownian motion in a tilted periodic potential.
Quantum corrections to the noninertial Brownian motion of a particle in a one-dimensional tilted cosine periodic potential are treated in the high-temperature and weak bath-particle coupling limit by solving a quantum Smoluchowski equation for the time evolution of the distribution function in configuration space. The theoretical predictions from two different forms of the quantum Smoluchowski ...
متن کاملNonlinear noninertial response of a brownian particle in a tilted periodic potential to a strong ac force
The solution of the Langevin equation describing the dynamics of a Brownian particle in a tilted periodic potential in the overdamped limit is obtained in terms of a matrix continued fraction, allowing us to evaluate statistical averages governing the nonlinear response to a strong ac force. Pronounced nonlinear effects are observed for large values of the ac force. For a weak ac force and low ...
متن کاملSemiclassical treatment of a Brownian ratchet using the quantum Smoluchowski equation.
Quantum effects in the noninertial Brownian motion of a particle in a one-dimensional ratchet potential are treated in the high temperature and weak bath-particle coupling limit by solving a quantum Smoluchowski equation for the time evolution of the Wigner function in configuration space. In particular, an analytical expression for the stationary average drift velocity for constant driving for...
متن کاملDiffusion of colloidal particles in a tilted periodic potential: theory versus experiment.
We investigate the diffusion of a colloidal particle in a tilted periodic potential created by means of ten rotating optical tweezers arranged on a circle. Because of the viscous drag, the trap rotation leads to the onset of a tilting force in the corotating reference frame, so that in that frame the system can be described as an overdamped Brownian particle in a tilted periodic potential. The ...
متن کاملPath integral approach to Brownian motion driven with an ac force.
Brownian motion in a periodic potential driven by an ac (oscillatory) force is investigated for the full range of damping constant from the overdamped limit to the underdamped limit. The path (functional) integral approach is advanced to produce formulas for the probability distribution function and for the current of the Brownian particle in response to an ac driving force. The negative fricti...
