Pumping / Stirring Publications

The scope of the 2003-2006 publications was to put quantum pumping in open systems and quantum stirring in closed systems under the same umbrella of linear response theory (Kubo). The focus was on "ring" geometry (either "two barrier" or "piston" systems). In 2008 there are new works that illuminate the physical results using a heuristic "splitting ratio" approach. The simplest model to clarify the idea is a 3-site tight-binding system. This approach was also used to derive some results for the counting statistics. Another direction was to apply the formalism to Bose condensed particles, and to see what is the significance of having interactions.
