TL;DR: A novel transport phenomenon is identified that is induced by inertial Brownian particles which move in simple one-dimensional, symmetric periodic potentials under the influence of both a time periodic and a constant, biasing driving force.

TL;DR: This work considers a Brownian inertial motor that is driven by an unbiased monochromatic, time-periodic force and thermal noise, and investigates the role of fluctuations of the noise-induced current and its consequences for the efficiency of rectifying noise.

TL;DR: A quantum Smoluchowski equation is put forward that consistently describes thermal quantum states that notably does not induce a violation of the second law of thermodynamics and is applied to study analytically directed quantum transport at strong friction in arbitrarily shaped ratchet potentials that are driven by nonthermal two-state noise.

TL;DR: An updated and extended guide on methods of a proper acceleration of the Monte Carlo integration of stochastic differential equations with the commonly available NVIDIA Graphics Processing Units using the CUDA programming environment is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated anomalous electrical transport in a driven, resistively, and capacitively shunted Josephson junction device and found that the dependence of the voltage across the junction on the dc exhibits a rich diversity of anomalous transport characteristics.
