Transport efficiency in complex networks — •Marco Tabarelli and Oliver Mülken — Albert-Ludwigs-Universität, Freiburg, Germany

We examine complex networks of two-level quantum systems regarding their efficiency to transport exitons through the network. Our model uses the so-called Quantum Stochastic Walk (QSW), a version of a quantum master equation in Lindblad form (LME) which allows to parametrize the classical-quantummechanical crossover. To describe a circular probability current an external node is coupled to two "ends" of the network acting as a source to an entrance node and a trap to an exit node. These links are directed and their effect is realized with additional Lindblad operators in the dissipative term of the LME. Comparing stationary solutions of node populations sheds light on the probability current through the network. In addition to the geometry of the network, parameters varied include the internal coupling constant, source- and trap strength and the ratio of coherent and decoherent transitions. Networks studied include modified linear chains and networks with self-similarity properties.
