Quantum diffusion on a cyclic one dimensional lattice

Phys. Rev. E 68, 031103-1-9 (2003) The quantum diffusion of a particle in an initially localized state on a cyclic lattice with N sites is studied. Diffusion and reconstruction time are calculated. Strong differences are found for even or odd number of sites and the limit N->infinit is studied. The predictions of the model could be tested with micro - and nanotechnology devices.
