We consider the kinetics of electron transfer reactions in condensed media with different reorganization energies for the forward and backward processes. The starting point of our analysis is an extension of the well-known Zusman equations to the case of parabolic diabatic curves with different curvatures. A generalized master equation for the...

We study, within the spin-boson dynamics, the synchronization of a quantum tunneling system with an external, time-periodic driving signal. As a main result, we find that at a sufficiently large system-bath coupling strength (i.e., for a friction strength α>1) the thermal noise plays a constructive role in yielding forced synchronization. This...

We investigate the role of noise in the phenomenon of stochastic synchronization of switching events in a rocked, overdamped bistable potential driven by white Gaussian noise, the archetype description of stochastic resonance. We present an approach to the stochastic counting process of noise-induced switching events: starting from the...
