Recent years have seen tremendous progress in the theoretical understanding of quantum
systems driven dissipatively by coupling to different baths at their edges. This was possible …

We present an overview of recent advances in the study of energy dynamics and
mechanisms for energy conversion in qubit systems with special focus on realizations in …

We formulate and apply a low-energy transport theory for hybrid quantum devices
containing junctions of topological superconductor (TS) wires and conventional normal (N) …

We generalize the method of third quantization to a unified exact treatment of Redfield and
Lindblad master equations for open quadratic systems of n fermions in terms of …

We study the rectification of the spin current in XXZ chains segmented in two parts, each with
a different anisotropy parameter. Using exact diagonalization and a matrix product state …

Finite-temperature transport properties of one-dimensional systems can be studied using the
time dependent density matrix renormalization group via the introduction of auxiliary …

We study the real-time dynamics of spin chains driven out of thermal equilibrium by an initial
temperature gradient TL≠ TR using density matrix renormalization group methods. We …

We study the rectification of heat current in an XXZ chain segmented in two parts. We model
the effect of the environment with Lindblad heat baths. We show that in our system …

We investigate how the presence of a single-particle mobility edge in a system can generate
strong energy current rectification. Specifically, we study a quadratic bosonic chain subject …

Building on the idea of Tolman and Ehrenfest that heat has weight, Luttinger established a
deep connection between gravitational fields and thermal transport. However, this relation …
