Quantum fluctuation induced spatial stochastic resonance at zero temperature

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We consider a model in which the quantum fluctuation can be controlled and show that the system responds to a spatially periodic external field at zero temperature. This signifies the occurrence of spatial stochastic resonance where the fluctuations are purely quantum in nature. Various features of the phenomenon are discussed.
