Adiabatic quantum transport: Quantization and fluctuations.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Quillen’s local index theorem is used to study the charge transport coefficients (adiabatic curvature) associated to the ground state of a Schrödinger operator for a charged (spinless) particle on a closed, multiply connected surface. The formula splits the adiabatic curvature into an explicit integral part and a fluctuating part which has a natural interpretation in terms of quantum chaos.

We study the transport of an overdamped particle adiabatically driven by an asymmetric potential which is periodic in both space and time. We develop an adiabatic perturbation theory after transforming the Fokker-Planck equation into a time-dependent hermitian problem, and reveal an analogy with quantum adiabatic particle transport. An analytical expression is obtained for the ensemble average ...
متن کاملQuantization of electromagnetic fields in the presence of a spherical semiconductor quantum dot and spontaneous decay of an excited atom doped in this nanostructure
In this paper we consider electromagnetic field quantization in the presence of a dispersive and absorbing semiconductor quantum dot. By using macroscopic approach and Green's function method, quantization of electromagnetic field is investigated. Interaction of a two-level atom , which is doped in a semiconductor quantum dot, with the quantized field is considered and its spontaneous emission ...
متن کاملCharge transport through single molecules, quantum dots and quantum wires.
We review recent progress in the theoretical description of correlation and quantum fluctuation phenomena in charge transport through single molecules, quantum dots and quantum wires. Various physical phenomena are addressed, relating to cotunneling, pair-tunneling, adiabatic quantum pumping, charge and spin fluctuations, and inhomogeneous Luttinger liquids. We review theoretical many-body meth...
متن کاملPhysics of non-adiabatic transport and field-domain effect in quantum-well infrared photodetectors
A previous theory for studying the distribution of non-uniform fields in multiple-quantum-well photodetectors under an ac voltage is generalized by including non-adiabatic space-charge-field effects. Numerical calculations indicate that field-domain effects are only important at high temperatures or high voltages when both injection and sequentialtunneling currents are significant. On the other...
متن کاملAdiabatic Invariants and Scalar Fields in a de Sitter Space-Time
The method of adiabatic invariants for time dependent Hamiltonians is applied to a massive scalar field in a de Sitter space-time. The scalar field ground state, its Fock space and coherent states are constructed and related to the particle states. Diverse quantities of physical interest are illustrated, such as particle creation and the way a classical probability distribution emerges for the ...
