8 Electron dynamics (exact) Electron Hamiltonian Ĥe = i E i a i a i (2 nd quantization) Electronic observables A e belong to a CAR algebra A e = C -algebra generated by the creation op. a i = a (ψ i ). Electron-phonon interaction Hamiltonian (for N atoms): Ĥ e ph = λ ( ) νq ê iqx b q + b q N b q q = creation op. of a longitudinal acoustic phonon with momentum q and frequency ν q = c s q λ = coupling constant. Assume the phonons are in state ω ph at time t = 0 and are uncorrelated with the electrons ( ) A e (t) = ω ph e it(ĥ e +Ĥ ph +Ĥ e ph ) A e 1 ph e it(ĥ e +Ĥ ph +Ĥ e ph ). Workshop on Quantum Transport, Lexington, March 17, 2006 p. 8
9 Van Hove limit (weak coupling) Phonons = bath at equilibrium with inv. temperature β initial state ω ph = β-kms state for free bosons. Van Hove limit: λ 0, t = λ 2 τ [Davies 74] A e (λ 2 τ) e τ(l e+d) (A e ) 0. Liouvillian : L e (A e ) = i [ Ĥ e, A e ] D(A e ) = i j = Lindblad generator commutes with L e γ i j ( a i a ja e a j a i 1 2 { }) a i a i a j a j, A e a i, a i = creation & annihilation op. of an electron in state ψ i γ i j = jump rate from ψ i to ψ j as given by Fermi golden rule.

Phonon correlation time τ c : If f, g are analytic in a strip around the R-axis, the phonon correlation function ( ) ω ph b (f)b(e iτh ph g) = f e iτh ph(e βh ph 1) 1 g decreases exponentially to 0 as τ with a rate 1/τ c. The electron dynamics is well-approximated by the semigroup of completely positive maps (e t(le+d) ) t 0 if (1) τ c t λ 2 τ 1 c (Markov limit + perturbation theory) (2) E λ 2 τ c with E = smallest energy difference E i E j for relevant jumps (adiabatic limit).

16 Outline of the talk Hopping transport Models for electron-phonon interactions Link with classical Markov processes Random walk in a random environment Workshop on Quantum Transport, Lexington, March 17, 2006 p. 16
17 Random environment Let x i be random distinct points in R d with a stationary and mixing distribution ˆP. N B = points in B R d (B bounded Borel set) E ˆP (N B) = ρ B, ρ = mean density, ρ <. EX : (stationary) Poisson process (i) ˆP(N B = n) = (ρ B ) n e ρ B /n! (ii) the N B are independent for disjoint B s. Workshop on Quantum Transport, Lexington, March 17, 2006 p. 17
18 Random environment (2) To each point x i is associated a random energy E i [ 1, 1]. The E i are independent and have all the distribution ν. Pick up (at random) a point among {x i } and choose it as the origin new distribution = Palm distribution ˆP 0 EX : ˆP = stat. Poisson process ˆP 0 is obtained by adding 1 (deterministic) point at x = 0. Workshop on Quantum Transport, Lexington, March 17, 2006 p. 18
19 Random walk Configuration of the environment ξ = {x i, E i }. A particle located at X t at time t, starting from X 0 = 0, walks randomly on {x i } : X t Jumps are possible between any pair of points (x i, x j ), with the rate c xi x j = e x i x j e β( E i E j + E i + E j ) β = inverse temperature.
