We develop a Magnus formalism for periodically driven systems which provides an expansion both in the driving term and the inverse driving frequency, applicable to isolated and dissipative systems. We derive explicit formulas for a driving term with a cosine dependence on time, up to fourth order. We apply these to the steady state of a classical parametric oscillator coupled to a thermal bath, which we solve numerically for comparison. Beyond dynamical stabilization at second order, we find that the higher orders further renormalize the oscillator frequency, and additionally create a weakly renormalized effective temperature. The renormalized oscillator frequency is quantitatively accurate almost up to the parametric instability, as we confirm numerically. Additionally, a cut-off dependent term is generated, which indicates the break-down of the hierarchy of time scales of the system, as a precursor to the instability. Finally, we apply this formalism to a parametrically driven chain, as an example for the control of the dispersion of a many-body system.

To investigate a system coupled to a harmonic oscillator bath, we propose a new approach based on a phonon number representation of the bath. Compared to the method of the hierarchical equations of motion, the new approach is computationally much les
s expensive in a sense that a reduced density matrix is obtained by calculating the time evolution of vectors, instead of matrices, which enables one to deal with large dimensional systems. As a benchmark test, we consider a quantum damped harmonic oscillator, and show that the exact results can be well reproduced. In addition to the reduced density matrix, our approach also provides a link to the total wave function by introducing new boson operators.
In this paper we examine some foundational issues of a class of quantum engines where the system consists of a single quantum parametric oscillator, operating in an Otto cycle consisting of 4 stages of two alternating phases: the isentropic phase is
detached from any bath (thus a closed system) where the natural frequency of the oscillator is changed from one value to another, and the isothermal phase where the system (now rendered open) is put in contact with one or two squeezed baths of different temperatures, whose nonequilibrium dynamics follows the Hu-Paz-Zhang (HPZ) master equation for quantum Brownian motion. The HPZ equation is an exact nonMarkovian equation which preserves the positivity of the density operator and is valid for a) all temperatures, b) arbitrary spectral density of the bath, and c) arbitrary coupling strength between the system and the bath. Taking advantage of these properties we examine some key foundational issues of theories of quantum open and squeezed systems for these two phases of the quantum Otto engines. This include, i) the nonMarkovian regimes for non-Ohmic, low temperature baths, ii) what to expect in nonadiabatic frequency modulations, iii) strong system-bath coupling, as well as iv) the proper junction conditions between these two phases. Our aim here is not to present ways for attaining higher efficiency but to build a more solid theoretical foundation for quantum engines of continuous variables covering a broader range of parameter spaces hopefully of use for exploring such possibilities.
We propose a new concept for the dynamics of a quantum bath, the Chebyshev space, and a new method based on this concept, the Chebyshev space method. The Chebyshev space is an abstract vector space that exactly represents the fermionic or bosonic bat
h degrees of freedom, without a discretization of the bath density of states. Relying on Chebyshev expansions the Chebyshev space representation of a bath has very favorable properties with respect to extremely precise and efficient calculations of groundstate properties, static and dynamical correlations, and time-evolution for a great variety of quantum systems. The aim of the present work is to introduce the Chebyshev space in detail and to demonstrate the capabilities of the Chebyshev space method. Although the central idea is derived in full generality the focus is on model systems coupled to fermionic baths. In particular we address quantum impurity problems, such as an impurity in a host or a bosonic impurity with a static barrier, and the motion of a wave packet on a chain coupled to leads. For the bosonic impurity, the phase transition from a delocalized electron to a localized polaron in arbitrary dimension is detected. For the wave packet on a chain, we show how the Chebyshev space method implements different boundary conditions, including transparent boundary conditions replacing infinite leads. Furthermore the self-consistent solution of the Holstein model in infinite dimension is calculated. With the examples we demonstrate how highly accurate results for system energies, correlation and spectral functions, and time-dependence of observables are obtained with modest computational effort.
The theory of probability shows that, as the fraction $X_n/Yto 0$, the conditional probability for $X_n$, given $X_n+Y in h_{delta}:=[h, h+delta]$, has a limit law $f_{X_n}(x)e^{-psi_n(h_delta)x}$, where $psi_n(h_delta) $ equals to $[partial ln P(Y i
n y_delta)/partial y]_{y=h}$ plus an additional term, contributed from the correlation between $X_n$ and bath $Y$. By applying this limit law to an isolated composite system consisting of two strongly coupled parts, a system of interest and a large but finite bath, we derive the generalized Boltzmann distribution law for the system of interest in the exponential form of a redefined Hamiltonian and corrected Boltzmann temperature that reflects the modification due to strong system-bath coupling and the large but finite bath.
The rectification of unbiased fluctuations, also known as the ratchet effect, is normally obtained under statistical non-equilibrium conditions. Here we propose a new ratchet mechanism where a thermal bath solicits the random rotation of an asymmetri
c wheel, which is also subject to Coulomb friction due to solid-on-solid contacts. Numerical simulations and analytical calculations demonstrate a net drift induced by friction. If the thermal bath is replaced by a granular gas, the well known granular ratchet effect also intervenes, becoming dominant at high collision rates. For our chosen wheel shape the granular effect acts in the opposite direction with respect to the friction-induced torque, resulting in the inversion of the ratchet direction as the collision rate increases. We have realized a new granular ratchet experiment where both these ratchet effects are observed, as well as the predicted inversion at their crossover. Our discovery paves the way to the realization of micro and sub-micrometer Brownian motors in an equilibrium fluid, based purely upon nano-friction.
