Non-classicality of the molecular vibrations assisting exciton energy transfer at room temperature

EJ O'Reilly, A Olaya-Castro - Nature communications, 2014 - nature.com
Advancing the debate on quantum effects in light-initiated reactions in biology requires clear
identification of non-classical features that these processes can exhibit and utilize. Here we …

The optomechanical instability in the quantum regime

M Ludwig, B Kubala, F Marquardt - New Journal of Physics, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider a generic optomechanical system, consisting of a driven optical cavity and a
movable mirror attached to a cantilever. Systems of this kind (and analogues) have been …

Current noise in single-molecule junctions induced by electronic-vibrational coupling

C Schinabeck, R Härtle, HB Weber, M Thoss - Physical Review B, 2014 - APS
The influence of multiple vibrational modes on current fluctuations in electron transport
through single-molecule junctions is investigated. Our analysis is based on a generic model …

Single molecular shuttle-junction: Shot noise and decoherence

W Lai, C Zhang, Z Ma - Frontiers of Physics, 2015 - Springer
Single molecular shuttle-junction is one kind of nanoscale electromechanical tunneling
system. In this junction, a molecular island oscillates depending on its charge occupation …

Signatures of Wigner correlations in the conductance of a one-dimensional quantum dot coupled to an AFM tip

N Traverso Ziani, F Cavaliere, M Sassetti - Physical Review B—Condensed …, 2012 - APS
The transport properties of an interacting one-dimensional quantum dot capacitively coupled

Asymmetric Franck-Condon factors in suspended carbon nanotube quantum dots

F Cavaliere, E Mariani, R Leturcq, C Stampfer… - Physical Review B …, 2010 - APS
Electronic states and vibrons in carbon nanotube quantum dots have, in general, different
location and size. As a consequence, the conventional Anderson-Holstein model, coupling …

Spin textures of strongly correlated spin Hall quantum dots

G Dolcetto, NT Ziani, M Biggio… - physica status solidi …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
We study the spin ordering of a quantum dot defined via magnetic barriers in an interacting
quantum spin Hall edge. The spin‐resolved density–density correlation functions are …

Resonance fluorescence in driven quantum dots: Electron and photon correlations

R Sánchez, G Platero, T Brandes - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and …, 2008 - APS
We study the counting statistics for electrons and photons being emitted from a driven two-
level quantum dot. Our technique allows us to calculate their mutual correlations as well. We …
