1 Dynamics of Quantum Dissipative Systems: The Example of Quantum Brownian Motors Joël Peguiron Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Basel, Switzerland Work done with Milena Grifoni at Kavli Institute of Nanoscience, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Institut I - Theoretische Physik, Universität Regensburg, Germany CCP6 Workshop on Open Quantum Systems Bangor, Wales, UK, 25 August 2006
2 Aim of the Talk Illustrate some techniques used by theoretical physicists to describe quantum dissipative systems with the example of quantum Brownian motors (also known as quantum ratchets) 2
3 What is a Brownian Motor / Ratchet? A ratchet system is: periodic asymmetric designed and driven to extract work from fluctuating forces 3
4 Ratchets: a Physicist s Model A single particle in a 1D periodic asymmetric potential Driving force: tilting of the potential V(q) F q V(q) q q maintains a non-equilibrium situation A ratchet system is: work extraction allowed by the 2nd Principle of Thermodynamics unbiased e.g. rocking force work released particle current Natural case: interaction with a periodic dissipative thermal environment asymmetric designed and driven to extract work from fluctuating forces 4
5 The Classical Ratchet Effect Γbackward Γforward force +F Current: force -F v DC Γ forward Γ backward Thermal rate: Γth e U k BT The barrier height ΔU may be different in opposite tilted situations ratchet effect: net average current v DC ( + F ) v DC ( F ) This current may be tuned through the parameters of the environment 5
6 The Quantum Ratchet Effect Γbackward force +F Γforward tunneling Current: force -F v DC Γ forward Γ backward Thermal rate: Γth e U k BT Γtun =? The interaction with a dissipative environment is crucial The barrier parameters may be different in opposite tilted situations quantum ratchet effect: net average current v DC ( + F ) v DC ( F ) This current may be tuned through the parameters of the environment Current reversals may occur P. Reimann, M. Grifoni and P. Hänggi, PRL 79, 10 (1997) 6

16 Few Energy Bands: Results Current inversion depending on the parameters: Ratchet current Driving amplitude moderate damping strong damping M. Grifoni, M. S. Ferreira, J. Peguiron and J. B. Majer, PRL 89, (2002) Drawbacks of the method: - breakdown at large F no comparison with experiment, cannot reach classical limit - impossible to go to low temperature or dissipation due to our Golden Rule approximation 16
17 2nd Approach: Duality Relation expansion of the kind long times q (t ) q0 + rare transitions cos(2πq L) = exp{ 2πiσq L} σ =± p0 Ft + qtb (t ) η η TB Fisher and Zwerger, PRB (1985) initial preparation Dissipative tight-binding model Dissipative ratchet system 2π V (q) = Vl cos(l q ϕl ) L l =1 H TB = harmonics couplings Vl iϕ l e = l 2 ( n = l =1 * l n + l n + l n n + l qtb = ~ nl n - single band n = - non nearest-neighbors couplings 1 2 ~ L ~ 2π L L= ηl J (ω ) = ηω J TB (ω ) = periodicity length ηω 1 + (ω γ ) 2 spectral density 17 n )
18 Application: Ratchet Current Tight-binding dynamics use the techniques developed for the 1st approach! Γm solve the Generalized Master Equation v TB ~ = L m(γm Γ m ) m =1 Transition rates Γm: power series in the couplings l n n+m Duality relation F L v ( F ) = m(γm Γ m ) power series in the potential harmonics η α m =1 DC Bistable driving: F + = + F F (t ) F = F Relation to the time-independent case v R ( F ) = v DC ( F ) + v DC ( F ) Ratchet current to third order v R ( F ) V12V2 sin(ϕ 2 2ϕ1 ) vanishes for symmetric potentials sin(ϕ 2 2ϕ1 ) = 0 18
19 Stationary velocity and ratchet current Function of driving, k BT = V Function of temperature, FL = 0.57 V Free system V (q) 0 v0 = F η Localization in the TB system No Maxwell daemon Weak dissipation α = 0.2 γ = 0.76 V J. Peguiron and M. Grifoni, PRE 71, R (2005) 19
20 Stationary velocity and ratchet current II As a function of dissipation strength: ηl2 α= 2π Localization at low temperature Delocalization at low temperature J. Peguiron and M. Grifoni, Chem. Phys. 322, 169 (2006) 20
21 Conclusions Two complementary methods to evaluate the ratchet current in different parameter regimes Ratchet effect and current inversions depending on the parameters Proper classical limit (with the duality relation) Explicit dependence on the potential (with the duality relation) experiments? Future Projects Generalization to any Ohmic spectral density diffusion coefficient, current noise? The case of zero temperature further analytical results? 21
