In contrast to the static confinement, the moving boundaries generate an effective force driving the particle in the channel, which can be explicitly expressed within our method.

Stochastic resonance is one such mechanism and is crucial to explain many physical, chemical, and biological processes, as well as having huge technological importance. The general setup to describe stochastic resonance considers two states. Recently, it has been unveiled that it is necessary to consider the intrinsic fluctuations related to the two different states of the system are different in interpreting certain fundamental natural processes, such as glacial-interglacial transitions in Earth's ice age. This also has significance in developing advantageous technologies. However, until now, there has been no general theory describing stochastic resonance in terms of the transition rate between the two states and their probability distribution function while considering different noise amplitudes or fluctuation characteristics of these two states. The development of this fundamental theory is attempted in the present research work. As a first step, a relevant approximation is used in which the system is considered within the adiabatic limit. The analytical derivations are corroborated by numerical simulation results. Furthermore, a semianalytical theory is proposed for the definite system without any approximations as the exact analytical solution is not achievable. This semianalytical theory is found to replicate the results obtained from the Brownian dynamics simulation study for previously known quantifiers for stochastic resonance which are estimated in the present context for the system with state-dependent diffusion.</p>","PeriodicalId":20085,"journal":{"name":"Physical review.

Here, we address this issue from an open quantum system perspective, examining an isolated setup where a small system (specifically, a single fermionic level) is coupled to a macroscopic fermionic bath. We argue that in such a model, despite its full integrability, the system observables exhibit thermalization when the system-bath setup resides in a typical eigenstate of its Hamiltonian, a phenomenon known as weak eigenstate thermalization. This thermalization occurs unless it is suppressed by localization due to strong coupling. We further show that, following the quench of the system Hamiltonian, the system occupancy typically relaxes to the thermal value corresponding to the new Hamiltonian. Finally, we demonstrate that system thermalization also arises when the system is coupled to a bath that has been initialized in a typical eigenstate of its Hamiltonian. Our findings suggest that nonintegrability is not the sole driver of thermalization, highlighting the need for complementary approaches to fully understand the emergence of statistical mechanics.</p>","PeriodicalId":20085,"journal":{"name":"Physical review.
