Selfadjoint operator theory in quantum theory, including spectral analysis (81Q10) Quantum optics (81V80)

Abstract: We study the dynamics of a 1D Bloch electron subjected to a constant electric field. The periodic potential is supposed to be less singular than the $delta$-like potential (Dirac comb). We give a rigorous proof of Ao's result cite{Ao} that for a large class of initial conditions (high momentum regime) there is no localization in momentum space. The proof is based on the mathematical substantiation of the two simplifying assumptions made in physical literature: the transitions between far away bands can be neglected and the transitions at the quasi-crossing can be described by Landau-Zener like formulae. Using the connection between the above model and the driven quantum ring (DQR) shown by Avron and Nemirovski cite{AvN}, our results imply the increase of energy for weakly singular such DQR and appropiate initial conditions.
