Geometrical Pumping in Quantum Transport: Quantum Master Equation Approach

For an open quantum system, we investigate the pumped current induced by a slow modulation of control parameters on the basis of the quantum master equation and full counting statistics. We find that the average and the cumulant generating function of the pumped quantity are characterized by the geometrical Berry-phase-like quantities in the parameter space, which is associated with the generator of the master equation. From our formulation, we can discuss the geometrical pumping under the control of the chemical potentials and temperatures of reservoirs. We demonstrate the formulation by spinless electrons in coupled quantum dots. We show that the geometrical pumping is prohibited for the case of non-interacting electrons if we modulate only temperatures and chemical potentials of reservoirs, while the geometrical pumping occurs in the presence of an interaction between electrons.

General properties of response functions of nonequilibrium steady states

We derive general properties, which hold for both quantum and classical systems, of response functions of nonequilibrium steady states. We clarify differences from those of equilibrium states. In particular, sum rules and asymptotic behaviors are derived, and their implications are discussed. Since almost no assumptions are made, our results are applicable to diverse physical systems. We also demonstrate our results by a molecular dynamics simulation of a many-body interacting system.

Measurement of the Noise Spectrum Using a Multiple-Pulse Sequence

A method is proposed for obtaining the spectrum for noise that causes the phase decoherence of a qubit directly from experimentally available data. The method is based on a simple relationship between the spectrum and the coherence time of the qubit in the presence of a pi-pulse sequence. The relationship is found to hold for every system of a qubit interacting with the classical-noise, bosonic, and spin baths.

Nonequilibrium Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Interacting Many Electrons Scattered by Lattice Vibrations

We propose a new model suitable for a nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of electrical conductors. The model consists of classical electrons and atoms. The atoms compose a lattice vibration system. The electrons are scattered by electron-electron and electron-atom interactions. Since the scattering cross section is physically more important than the functional form of a scattering potential, we propose to devise the electron-atom interaction potential in such a way that its scattering cross section agrees with that of quantum-mechanical one. To demonstrate advantages of the proposed model, we perform a nonequilibrium MD simulation assuming a doped semiconductor at room or higher temperature. In the linear response regime, we confirm Ohm's law, the dispersion relations and the fluctuation-dissipation relation. Furthermore, we obtain reasonable dependence of the electrical conductivity on temperature, despite the fact that our model is a classical model.

Sum Rules and Asymptotic Behaviors for Optical Conductivity of Nonequilibrium Many-Electron Systems

For many-electron systems, we consider a nonequilibrium state (NES) that is driven by a pump field(s), which is either an optical field or a longitudinal electric field. For the differential optical conductivity describing the differential response of the NES to a probe optical field, we derive exact sum rules and asymptotic behaviors, which open wide possibilities for experiments. In deriving these results, we have also derived universal properties of general differential response functions of time-dependent NESs of general systems.

Sum rule for response function in nonequilibrium Langevin systems

We derive general properties of the linear response functions of nonequilibrium steady states in Langevin systems. These correspond to extension of the results which were recently found in Hamiltonian systems [A. Shimizu and T. Yuge, J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. {\bf 79}, 013002 (2010)]. We discuss one of the properties, the sum rule for the response function, in particular detail. We show that the sum rule for the response function of the velocity holds in the underdamped case, whereas it is violated in the overdamped case. This implies that the overdamped Langevin models should be used with great care. We also investigate the relation of the sum rule to an equality on the energy dissipation in nonequilibrium Langevin systems, which was derived by Harada and Sasa.

Indications of Universal Excess Fluctuations in Nonequilibrium Systems

The fluctuation in electric current in nonequilibrium steady states is investigated by molecular dynamics simulation of macroscopically uniform conductors. At low frequencies, appropriate decomposition of the spectral intensity of current into thermal and excess fluctuations provides a simple picture of excess fluctuations behaving as shot noise. This indicates that the fluctuation-dissipation relation may be violated in a universal manner by the appearance of shot noise for a wide range of systems with particle or momentum transport.

Distribution Function of Electron Velocity Perpendicular to the Driving Force in a Uniform Nonequilibrium Steady State

A macroscopically uniform model of a two-dimensional electron system is proposed to study nonequilibrium properties of electrical conduction. By molecular dynamics simulation, the steady state distribution function $P_y$ of electron velocity in a direction perpendicular to an external driving force is calculated. An explicit form of $P_y$ is determined within the accuracy of the numerical simulation, which fits the numerical data well even in the regime where a local equilibrium description is not valid. Although the entire structure of $P_y$ is different from that of a local equilibrium distribution function, the asymptotic structure of the tails of $P_y$ in the limit of large absolute values of the velocity is identical to that of a Maxwell distribution function with a temperature which is different from that in the equilibrium state and the kinetic temperature in the steady state.

Long-time tail in an electric conduction system

The long-time behavior of the velocity autocorrelation function in a classical two-dimensional electric conduction system is studied by the molecular dynamics simulation. In equilibrium, the effect of coexistence of many-body interactions and a random potential is investigated. A crossover from a positive tail proportional to $t^{-1}$, to a negative tail proportional to $-t^{-2}$ is observed as the strength of the random potential increases. In nonequilibrium, the positive tail is enhanced whereas the negative tail appears at earlier times as an electric field increases.

Long-Time Behavior of Velocity Autocorrelation Function for Interacting Particles in a Two-Dimensional Disordered System

The long-time behavior of the velocity autocorrelation function (VACF) is investigated by the molecular dynamics simulation of a two-dimensional system which has both a many-body interaction and a random potential. With strengthening the random potential by increasing the density of impurities, a crossover behavior of the VACF is observed from a positive tail, which is proportional to t^{-1}, to a negative tail, proportional to -t^{-2}. The latter tail exists even when the density of particles is the same order as the density of impurities. The behavior of the VACF in a nonequilibrium steady state is also studied. In the linear response regime the behavior is similar to that in the equilibrium state, whereas it changes drastically in the nonlinear response regime.
