presented. Diverse phenomena, such as control of tunneling, higher harmonic generation …

Dissipative dynamics of an open quantum battery

M Carrega, A Crescente, D Ferraro… - New Journal of …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Coupling with an external environment inevitably affects the dynamics of a quantum system.
Here, we consider how charging performances of a quantum battery, modelled as a two …

Resonant tunneling through ultrasmall quantum dots: Zero-bias anomalies, magnetic-field dependence, and boson-assisted transport

J König, J Schmid, H Schoeller, G Schön - Physical Review B, 1996 - APS
We study resonant tunneling through a single-level quantum dot in the presence of strong
Coulomb repulsion beyond the perturbative regime. The level is either spin degenerate or …

Stabilizing effect of driving and dissipation on quantum metastable states

D Valenti, A Carollo, B Spagnolo - Physical Review A, 2018 - APS
We investigate how the combined effects of strong Ohmic dissipation and monochromatic
driving affect the stability of a quantum system with a metastable state. We find that, by …

A perturbative nonequilibrium renormalization group method for dissipative quantum mechanics: Real-time rg in frequency space (rtrg-fs)

H Schoeller - The European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2009 - Springer
We study a generic problem of dissipative quantum mechanics, a small local quantum
system with discrete states coupled in an arbitrary way (ie not necessarily linear) to several …

Stabilization by dissipation and stochastic resonant activation in quantum metastable systems: noise induced phenomena in quantum metastable systems

B Spagnolo, A Carollo, D Valenti - The European Physical Journal Special …, 2018 - Springer
In this tutorial paper we present a comprehensive review of the escape dynamics from
quantum metastable states in dissipative systems and related noise-induced effects. We …

Engineering dynamical couplings for quantum thermodynamic tasks

M Carrega, LM Cangemi, G De Filippis, V Cataudella… - PRX quantum, 2022 - APS
Describing the thermodynamic properties of quantum systems far from equilibrium is
challenging, in particular when the system is strongly coupled to its environment, or when …

Dissipative two-level system under strong ac driving: A combination of Floquet and Van Vleck perturbation theory

J Hausinger, M Grifoni - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2010 - APS
We study the dissipative dynamics of a two-level system (TLS) exposed to strong ac driving.
By combining Floquet theory with Van Vleck perturbation theory in the TLS tunneling matrix …

Dynamics of the spin-boson model with a structured environment

M Thorwart, E Paladino, M Grifoni - Chemical Physics, 2004 - Elsevier
We investigate the dynamics of the spin-boson model when the spectral density of the boson
bath shows a resonance at a characteristic frequency Ω but behaves Ohmically at small …
