Directed anomalous diffusion without a biased field: A ratchet accelerator
Abstract
Directed classical current that increases linearly with time without using a biased external field is obtained in a simple model Hamiltonian system derived from a modified kicked rotor model, by breaking the spatial symmetry of the transporting regular islands in the classical phase space. A parallel study of the corresponding quantum dynamics suggests that although quantum coherence effects suppress the directed current and can even induce a current reversal, directed quantum current that increases linearly with time can nonetheless be realized in a quantum system that is far from the classical limit.
