Author(s): F. G. Capone, A. de Candia, V. Cataudella, R. Fazio, N. Nagaosa, C. A. Perroni, and G. De Filippis We investigate the equilibrium properties of a quantum Brownian particle moving in a periodic potential, specifically addressing the nature of the dissipation-driven Schmid transition in the Ohmic regime. By employing world-line Monte Carlo in the path-integral formalism and introducing a specific b… [Phys. Rev. Lett. 137, 087101] Published Tue Aug 18, 2026
