Anomalous Diffusion with an Apparently Negative Diffusion Coefficient in a One-Dimensional Quantum Molecular Chain Model

An interesting anomaly in the diffusion process with an apparently negative diffusion coefficient defined through the mean-square displacement in a one-dimensional quantum molecular chain model is shown. Nevertheless, the system satisfies the H-theorem so that the second law of thermodynamics is sat...
