dc.description.abstract
When parameters are varied periodically, charge can be pumped through a
mesoscopic conductor without applied bias. Here, we consider the inverse
effect in which a transport current drives a periodic variation of an
adiabatic degree of freedom. This provides a general operating principle for
adiabatic quantum motors which we discuss here in general terms. We relate the
work performed per cycle on the motor degree of freedom to characteristics of
the underlying quantum pump and discuss the motors’ efficiency. Quantum motors
based on chaotic quantum dots operate solely due to quantum interference, and
motors based on Thouless pumps have ideal efficiency.
