    A new model for quantum dot light emitting-absorbing devices : dedicated to the memory of Pierre Duclos
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Neidhardt, Hagen; Wilhelm, Lukas; Zagrebnov, Valentin A.; Duclos, Pierre
    Motivated by the Jaynes-Cummings (JC) model, we consider here a quantum dot coupled simultaneously to a reservoir of photons and to two electric leads (free-fermion reservoirs). This Jaynes-Cummings-Leads (JCL) model makes possible that the fermion current through the dot creates a photon flux, which describes a light-emitting device. The same model also describes a transformation of the photon flux into a fermion current, i.e. a quantum dot light-absorbing device. The key tool to obtain these results is an abstract Landauer-Büttiker formula.

    The effect of time-dependent coupling on non-equilibirum steady states
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2007) Cornean, Horia D.; Neidhardt, Hagen; Zagrebnov, Valentin A.
    Consider (for simplicity) two one-dimensional semi-infinite leads coupled to a quantum well via time dependent point interactions. In the remote past the system is decoupled, and each of its components is at thermal equilibrium. In the remote future the system is fully coupled. We define and compute the non equilibrium steady state (NESS) generated by this evolution. We show that when restricted to the subspace of absolute continuity of the fully coupled system, the state does not depend at all on the switching. Moreover, we show that the stationary charge current has the same invariant property, and derive the Landau-Lifschitz and Landauer-Büttiker formulas.
