The system consists of a Brownian particle immersed in a heat bath trapped in optical tweezers with a time-dependent strength acting as an external protocol. In [Phys. Rev. Letts., 98:108301, 2007] the optimal mean work in the overdamped…
The Brownian motion of a particle immersed in a medium of charged particles is considered when the system is placed in magnetic or electric fields. Coming from the Zwanzig-Caldeira-Legget particle-bath model, we modify it so that not only…
The dissipative dynamics of a quantum Brownian particle is studied for different types of environment. We derive analytic results for the time evolution of the mean energy of the system for Ohmic, sub-Ohmic and super-Ohmic environments,…

We propose a Langevin equation to describe the quantum Brownian motion of bounded particles based on a distinctive formulation concerning both the fluctuation and dissipation forces. The fluctuation force is similar to that employed in the…
We use an effective Hamiltonian to characterize particle dynamics and find escape rates in a periodically kicked Hamiltonian. We study a model of particles in storage rings that is described by a chaotic symplectic map. Ignoring the…
Non-Markovianity and athermality are useful resources in quantum technologies, and it is therefore important to understand the relations between the two, for general quantum dynamics. We propose three measures of non-Markovianity, first…
We discuss two-dimensional diffusion of a Brownian particle confined to a periodic asymmetric channel with soft walls modeled by a parabolic potential. In the channel, the particle experiences different noise intensities, or temperatures,…
We make a detailed analysis of both phenomenological and analytic background for the "Brownian recoil principle" hypothesis (Phys. Rev. A 46, (1992), 4634). A corresponding theory of the isothermal Brownian motion of particle ensembles…
In this manuscript we show that a noise-activated escape phenomenon occurs in closed Hamiltonian systems. Due to the energy fluctuations generated by the noise, the isopotential curves open up and the particles can eventually escape in…
A number of random processes in various fields of science is described by phenomenological equations containing a stochastic force, the best known example being the Langevin equation (LE) for the Brownian motion (BM) of particles. Long ago…
The paper considers a process of escape of classical particle from a one-dimensional potential well by virtue of an external harmonic forcing. We address a particular model of the infinite-range potential well that allows independent…
Understanding thermal transport in nanoscale systems presents important challenges to both theory and experiment. In particular, the concept of local temperature at the nanoscale appears difficult to justify. Here, we propose a novel…
Stochastic motion of charged particles in the magnetic field was first studied almost half a century ago in the classical works by Taylor and Kursunoglu in connection with the diffusion of electrons and ions in plasma. In their works the…
In this study, we analytically formulated the path integral representation of the conditional probabilities for non-Markovian kinetic processes in terms of the free energy of the thermodynamic system. We carry out analytically the…
We consider the two dimensional motion of a particle into a confining potential, subjected to Brownian forces, associated with two different temperatures on the orthogonal directions. Exact solutions are obtained for an asymmetric harmonic…

We study the influence of the velocity dependence of friction on the escape of a Brownian particle from the deep potential well ($E_{b} \gg k_{B}T$, $E_{b}$ is the barrier height, $k_{B}$ is the Boltzmann constant, $T$ is the bath…
We treat the noise-activated escape from a one-dimensional potential well of an overdamped particle, to which a periodic force of fixed frequency is applied. We determine the boundary layer behavior, and the physically relevant length…
