• Title: Two-terminal transport in biased lattices: transition from ballistic to diffusive current
• Authors: Andrey R. Kolovsky,
• Abstract summary: We study the effect of a tilt on quantum transport in the presence of weak relaxation/decoherence processes in the lattice. It is shown that the Landauer ballistic transport regime for a weak tilt (small chemical potential difference) changes to the diffusive Esaki-Tsu transport regime for a strong tilt.

• Abstract: We analyze quantum transport of charged fermionic particles in the tight-binding lattice connecting two particle reservoirs (the leads). If the lead chemical potentials are different they create an electric field which tilts the lattice. We study the effect of this tilt on quantum transport in the presence of weak relaxation/decoherence processes in the lattice. It is shown that the Landauer ballistic transport regime for a weak tilt (small chemical potential difference) changes to the diffusive Esaki-Tsu transport regime for a strong tilt (large chemical potential difference), where the critical tilt for this crossover is determined by the condition that the Wannier-Stark localization length coincides with the lattice length.

We find that the phase particle motion, in a quantum Josephson junction, does not change from diffusive to localized, resulting in an insulator-superconductor transition.

  We investigate the transport properties of a two-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (2D SSH) model in the quantum Hall regime. We observe a transition from a gapped phase to a flat band regime at zero energy by varying the magnetic field. This transition is characterized by the emergence of highly localized states in the bulk or edges.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.

• Chemical tuning of spin clock transitions in molecular monomers based on nuclear spin-free Ni(II) [52.259804540075514]
  We report the existence of a sizeable quantum tunnelling splitting between the two lowest electronic spin levels of mononuclear Ni complexes. The level anti-crossing, or magnetic clock transition, associated with this gap has been directly monitored by heat capacity experiments. The comparison of these results with those obtained for a Co derivative, for which tunnelling is forbidden by symmetry, shows that the clock transition leads to an effective suppression of intermolecular spin-spin interactions.
