We describe a variational method to solve the Holstein model for an electron coupled to dynamical, quantum phonons on an infinite lattice. The variational space can be systematically expanded to achieve high accuracy with modest…
We investigate models of molecular junctions which constitute minimal Hamiltonians to account for zero-bias-anomaly and the satellite features of inelastic transport by molecular phonons. Through nonlinear transport calculations with the…
A set of equations is derived from the Boltzmann kinetic equation describing charge transport in semiconductors. The unknowns of these equations depend on the space-time coordinates and the electron energy. The non-parabolic and parabolic…
The last decade has witnessed an impressive progress in the theoretical understanding of transport properties of clean, one-dimensional quantum lattice systems. Many physically relevant models in one dimension are Bethe-ansatz integrable,…
In this paper, we investigate the transport coefficients of a strongly coupled plasma in the context of holographic QCD models based on Einstein-dilaton gravity that are compatible with linear confinement at zero temperature. At finite…
Quantum criticality provides an important route to revealing universal non-equilibrium behaviour. A canonical example of a quantum critical point is the Bose-Hubbard model, which we study under the application of an electric field. A…
Using the micro-canonical picture of transport -- a framework ideally suited to describe the dynamics of closed quantum systems such as ultra-cold atom experiments -- we show that the exact dynamics of non-interacting fermions and bosons…
Improved results using a method similar to the Munn-Silbey approach have been obtained on the temperature dependence of transport properties of an extended Holstein model incorporating simultaneous diagonal and off-diagonal exciton-phonon…
We investigate the quantum transport of anyons in one space dimension. After establishing some universal features of non-equilibrium systems in contact with two heat reservoirs in a generalised Gibbs state, we focus on the abelian anyon…
We investigate the dynamics of an electron coupled to dispersionless optical phonons in the Holstein model, at high temperatures. The dynamics is conventionally believed to be diffusive, as the electron is repeatedly scattered by optical…
We derive transport equations for fermions and bosons in spatially or temporally varying backgrounds with special symmetries, by use of the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism. In a noninteracting theory the coherence information is shown to be…
We describe the nature of charge transport at non-zero temperatures ($T$) above the two-dimensional ($d$) superfluid-insulator quantum critical point. We argue that the transport is characterized by inelastic collisions among thermally…
We study the motion of a particle in a 3-dimensional lattice in the presence of a Coulomb potential, but we demonstrate semiclassicaly that the trajectories will always remain in a plane which can be taken as a rectangular lattice. The…
Accurate models of carrier transport are essential for describing the electronic properties of semiconductor materials. To the best of our knowledge, the current models following the framework of the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE)…
It has been conjectured that transport in integrable one-dimensional (1D) systems is necessarily ballistic. The large diffusive response seen experimentally in nearly ideal realizations of the S=1/2 1D Heisenberg model is therefore puzzling…
Quantum-confined semiconductor structures are the cornerstone of modern-day electronics. Spatial confinement in these structures leads to formation of discrete low-dimensional subbands. At room temperature, carriers transfer among different…
We discuss a semiclassical approach to solve the quantum impurity model within non-equilibrium dynamical mean-field theory for electron-lattice models. The effect of electronic fluctuations on the phonon is kept beyond Ehrenfest dynamics,…
In this essay, we first sketch the development of ideas on the extraordinary dynamics of integrable classical nonlinear and quantum many body Hamiltonians. In particular, we comment on the state of mathematical techniques available for…
We study electron transport in a normal-metal ring modeled by the tight binding lattice Hamiltonian, coupled to two electron reservoirs. First, Buttiker's model of incorporating inelastic scattering, hence decoherence and dissipation, has…
The interplay between electronic interactions and disorder is neglected in the conventional Boltzmann theory of transport, yet can play an essential role in determining the resistivity of unconventional metals. When quasiparticles are…
