Non-equilibrium Fluctuation Relations in a Quantum Coherent Conductor (2009)

Nakamura, Shuji, Yamauchi, Yoshiaki, Hashisaka, Masayuki, Chida, Kensaku, Kobayashi, Kensuke, Ono, Teruo, ...

We experimentally demonstrate the validity of non-equilibrium fluctuation relations by using a quantum coherent conductor. In equilibrium the fluctuation-dissipation relation leads to the correlation...

Heat conduction in a three dimensional anharmonic crystal (2009)

Saito, Keiji, Dhar, Abhishek

We perform nonequilibrium simulations of heat conduction in a three dimensional anharmonic lattice. By studying slabs of length N and width W, we examine the cross-over from one-dimensional to three...

Semiclassical Theory for Universality in Quantum Chaos with Symmetry Crossover (2009)

Saito, Keiji, Nagao, Taro, Muller, Sebastian, Braun, Petr

We address the quantum-classical correspondence for chaotic systems with a crossover between symmetry classes. We consider the energy level statistics of a classically chaotic system in a weak...

Cooling mechanisms in molecular conduction junctions (2009)

Galperin, Michael, Saito, Keiji, Balatsky, Alexander V., Nitzan, Abraham

While heating of a current carrying Ohmic conductors is an obvious consequence of the diffusive nature of the conduction in such systems, current induced cooling has been recently reported in some...

Iyoda, Eiki, Utsumi, Yasuhiro, Kato, Takeo, Saito, Keiji

We discuss a consequence of time reversal symmetry on thermoelectric effect in nonequilibrium coherent quantum transport. Starting with a quantum version of the fluctuation theorem, we show that...

Utsumi, Yasuhiro, Saito, Keiji

In the present study, we investigate the full counting statistics in a two-terminal Aharonov-Bohm interferometer embedded with an interacting quantum dot. We introduce a novel saddle-point solution...

Energy Dissipation and Fluctuation-Response in Driven Quantum Langevin Dynamics (2008)

Saito, Keiji

Energy dissipation in a nonequilibrium steady state is studied in driven quantum Langevin systems. We study energy dissipation flow to thermal environment, and obtain a general formula for the...

Symmetry in Full Counting Statistics, Fluctuation Theorem, and Relations among Nonlinear Transport Coefficients in the Presence of a Magnetic Field (2007)

Saito, Keiji, Utsumi, Yasuhiro

We study full counting statistics of coherent electron transport through multi-terminal interacting quantum-dots under a finite magnetic field. Microscopic reversibility leads to the symmetry of the...

Coherent destruction of tunneling, dynamic localization and the Landau-Zener formula (2007)

Kayanuma, Yosuke, Saito, Keiji

We clarify the internal relationship between the coherent destruction of tunneling (CDT) for a two-state model and the dynamic localization (DL) for a one-dimensional tight-binding model, under the...

Fluctuation theorem in quantum heat conduction (2007)

Saito, Keiji, Dhar, Abhishek

We consider steady state heat conduction across a quantum harmonic chain connected to reservoirs modelled by infinite collection of oscillators. The heat, $Q$, flowing across the oscillator in a time...

Dissipative Landau-Zener transitions of a qubit: bath-specific and universal behavior (2007)

Saito, Keiji, Wubs, Martijn, Kohler, Sigmund, Kayanuma, Yosuke, Hanggi, Peter

We study Landau-Zener transitions in a qubit coupled to a bath at zero temperature. A general formula is derived that is applicable to models with a non-degenerate ground state. We calculate exact...

Wubs, Martijn, Saito, Keiji, Kohler, Sigmund, Hänggi, Peter, Kayanuma, Yosuke

We calculate the exact Landau-Zener transitions probabilities for a qubit with arbitrary linear coupling to a bath at zero temperature. The final quantum state exhibits a peculiar entanglement...

Saito, Keiji, Wubs, Martijn, Kohler, Sigmund, Hanggi, Peter, Kayanuma, Yosuke

We study a qubit undergoing Landau-Zener transitions enabled by the coupling to a circuit-QED mode. Summing an infinite-order perturbation series, we determine the exact nonadiabatic transition...

Wubs, Martijn, Saito, Keiji, Kohler, Sigmund, Kayanuma, Yosuke, Hanggi, Peter

We investigate the influence of a dipole interaction with a classical radiation field on a qubit during a continuous change of a control parameter. In particular, we explore the non-adiabatic...

Nonadiabatic Electron Manipulation in Quantum-Dot Arrays (2004)

Saito, Keiji, Kayanuma, Yosuke

A novel method of coherent manipulation of the electron tunneling in quantum-dots is proposed, which utilizes the quantum interference in nonadiabatic double-crossing of the discrete energy levels....

Maeda, Munehiko, Saito, Keiji, Miyashita, Seiji, De Raedt, Hans

We compute the electric conductivity of nanowires in the presence of magnetic domain walls by the method of wave packet propagation. We demonstrate that the propagation through the wire depends on...
