We suggest a new approach for describing quantum dissipation in a small systems for which the system-plus-reservoir approach is not relevant. We first analyze the fact that equilibrium thermodynamics may reveal the existence of an…
We study the long-time dynamics of two-dimensional linear Fokker-Planck equations driven by a drift that can be decomposed in the sum of a large shear component and the gradient of a regular potential depending on one spatial variable. The…

We study the limit of high activation energy of a special Fokker-Planck equation, known as Kramers-Smoluchowski (K-S) equation. This equation governs the time evolution of the probability density of a particle performing a Brownian motion…

Fokker-Planck equations (forward Kolmogorov equations) evolve probability densities in time from an initial condition. For distributions over the real line, these evolution equations can sometimes be transformed into dynamics over the…
