Dissipation engineered directional filter for quantum ratchets
We demonstrate transport rectification in a Hermitian Hamiltonian quantum ratchet by a dissipative, dynamic impurity. While the bulk of the ratchet supports transport in both directions, the properly designed loss function of the local impurity acts as a direction-dependent filter for the moving sta...
