Abstract

This paper is a companion to 'Quantum Diffusion with Drift and the Einstein Relation I' (jointly submitted to arXiv). Its purpose is to describe and prove a certain number of technical results used in 'Quantum Diffusion with Drift and the Einstein Relation I', but not proven there. Both papers concern long-time properties (diffusion, drift) of the motion of a driven quantum particle coupled to an array of thermal reservoirs. The main technical results derived in the present paper are (1)(1) an asymptotic perturbation theory applicable for small driving, and, (2)(2) the construction of time-dependent correlation functions of particle observables.
