Over the last decade impressive progress has been made in the theoretical understanding
of transport properties of clean, one-dimensional quantum lattice systems. Many physically …

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 …

In the past few decades, numerous heat conduction models extending beyond Fourier's
have been developed to account for large gradients, fast phenomena, wave propagation …

With the advent of quantum technologies comes the requirement of building quantum
components able to store energy to be used whenever necessary, ie, quantum batteries. In …

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 …

This survey paper summarizes the more important recent applications of the eigenpairs
formulas for a family of tridiagonal matrices based on Losonczi's seminal work of almost …

We investigate heat rectification in a two-qubit system coupled via the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya
(DM) interaction. We derive analytical expressions for heat currents and thermal rectification …

We theoretically investigate a quantum heat diode based on two interacting flux qubits
coupled to two heat baths. Rectification of heat currents is achieved by asymmetrically …

Inspired by the microscopic control over dissipative processes in quantum optics and cold
atoms, we develop an open-system framework to study dissipative control of transport in …

A physical system connected to two thermal reservoirs at different temperatures is said to act
as a heat rectifier when it is able to bias the heat current in a given direction, similarly to an …
