Classical to quantum correspondence in dissipative directed transport
We compare the quantum and classical properties of the (Quantum) Isoperiodic
Stable Structures -- (Q)ISSs -- which organize the parameter space of a
paradigmatic dissipative ratchet model, i.e. the dissipative modified kicked
rotator. We study the spectral behavior of the corresponding classical
Perron-Frobenius operators with thermal noise and the quantum superoperators
without it for small values. We find a remarkable similarity
between the classical and quantum spectra. This finding significantly extends
previous results -- obtained for the mean currents and asymptotic distributions
only -- and on the other hand unveils a classical to quantum correspondence
mechanism where the classical noise is qualitatively different from the quantum
one. This is crucial not only for simple attractors but also for chaotic ones,
where just analyzing the asymptotic distribution reveals insufficient.
Moreover, we provide with a detailed characterization of relevant eigenvectors
by means of the corresponding Weyl-Wigner distributions, in order to better
identify similarities and differences. Finally, this model being generic, it
allows us to conjecture that this classical to quantum correspondence mechanism
is a universal feature of dissipative systems.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figure
The Mother of Invention
I stopped by Maggie Cahill’s front lawn on Stonemill Road last week to hear her describe how she edited a full-length memoir and worked with the author to prepare it for submission to a publisher

At Home
It never gets old. And never will. The view of the chapel as I arrive to campus in the quiet early morning is beautiful: whether shrouded in fog, covered in snow, or reflecting early daybreak
The Power of Sharing Our Stories
There is nothing more transformative than hearing people tell their stories in their own words. Listening, we realize our shared humanity
You Can Write!
Erma Bombeck devotees are every bit as passionate as Dayton Flyer fans I discovered at the opening of a new exhibit at Roesch Library that celebrates the humorist’s life and work
Silver Linings
I flipped the script at a two-day virtual retreat with administrative leaders a couple weeks before the start of the semester and asked them to reflect on the unexpected silver linings of the pandemic
24 Hours of Flyer Love
Talk about Flyer love! Some University of Dayton students are using their mini-spring break day on April 14 to fly #1Day1Dayton porch sheets, run a personal 5K, and tweet their love for their school
Voices of Courage
These women are voices of courage on the University of Dayton\u27s campus and beyond. They\u27re fierce champions for diversity and inclusion. They work every day to build a just world
