Abstract

We consider a driven dissipative two-state system subject to periodic modulation of both of its two parameters. The exact master equation that governs the dynamics is derived. Closed form analytical solutions are presented within the noninteracting-blip approximation for the stochastic forces, and for the exactly solvable case α=12 of the Ohmic viscosity. We apply these results to a tight-binding particle with zero intrinsic bias. Selection rules are obeyed for arbitrary dissipation. For Ohmic dissipation, the effects of fast asymmetry modulation result in an overall reduction of quantum coherence and in a possible localization. On the contrary, a multiplicative modulation of the tunneling coupling leads to an exponential enhancement of tunneling.

APS and the Physical Review Editorial Office Continue to Support Researchers

COVID-19 has impacted many institutions and organizations around the world, disrupting the progress of research. Through this difficult time APS and the Physical Review editorial office are fully equipped and actively working to support researchers by continuing to carry out all editorial and peer-review functions and publish research in the journals as well as minimizing disruption to journal access.

We appreciate your continued effort and commitment to helping advance science, and allowing us to publish the best physics journals in the world. And we hope you, and your loved ones, are staying safe and healthy.

Ways to Access APS Journal Articles Off-Campus

Many researchers now find themselves working away from their institutions and, thus, may have trouble accessing the Physical Review journals. To address this, we have been improving access via several different mechanisms. See Off-Campus Access to Physical Review for further instructions.
