We investigate the dynamics of quantum particles in a ratchet potential subject to an ac force field. We develop a perturbative approach for weak ratchet potentials and force fields. Within this approach, we obtain an analytic description of dc current rectification and current reversals. Transport characteristics for various limiting cases -- such as the classical limit, limit of high or low frequencies, and/or high temperatures -- are derived explicitly. To gain insight into the intricate dependence of the rectified current on the relevant parameters, we identify characteristic scales and obtain the response of the ratchet system in terms of scaling functions. We pay a special attention to inertial effects and show that they are often relevant, for example, at high temperatures. We find that the high temperature decay of the rectified current follows an algebraic law with a non-trivial exponent, $jpropto T^{-17/6}$.
Quantum Brownian motion in ratchet potentials is investigated by means of an approach based on a duality relation. This relation links the long-time dynamics in a tilted ratchet potential in the presence of dissipation with the one in a driven dissip
We study the effects of an intermittent harmonic potential of strength $mu = mu_0 u$ -- that switches on and off stochastically at a constant rate $gamma$, on an overdamped Brownian particle with damping coefficient $ u$. This can be thought of as a
We study the stochastic motion of particles driven by long-range correlated fractional Gaussian noise in a superharmonic external potential of the form $U(x)propto x^{2n}$ ($ninmathbb{N}$). When the noise is considered to be external, the resulting o
We consider an overdamped Brownian particle moving in a confining asymptotically logarithmic potential, which supports a normalized Boltzmann equilibrium density. We derive analytical expressions for the two-time correlation function and the fluctuat
A Brownian particle in an ideal quantum gas is considered. The mean square displacement (MSD) is derived. The Bose-Einstein or Fermi-Dirac distribution, other than the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, provides a different stochastic force compared wit
