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 …

Quantum dynamical maps provide suitable mathematical representation of quantum
evolutions. When representing quantum states by density operators, the evident …

The dynamical convergence of a system to the thermal distribution, or Gibbs state, is a
standard assumption across all of the physical sciences. The Gibbs state is determined just …

It is very common in the literature to write a Markovian quantum master equation in Lindblad
form to describe a system with multiple degrees of freedom and weakly connected to …

The Gibbs state is widely taken to be the equilibrium state of a system in contact with an
environment at temperature T. However, non-negligible interactions between system and …

This review deals with the nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) method applied to the
problems of energy transport due to atomic vibrations (phonons), primarily for small junction …

We put forth a new class of quantum master equations that correctly reproduce the
asymptotic state of an open quantum system beyond the infinitesimally weak system-bath …

The thermodynamic uncertainty relation, originally derived for classical Markov-jump
processes, provides a tradeoff relation between precision and dissipation, deepening our …

Unlike classical systems, a measurement performed on a quantum system always alters its
state. In this work, the impacts of two diagnostic schemes to determine the performance of …

Away from equilibrium, the properties of open quantum systems depend on the details of
their environment. A microscopic derivation of a master equation (ME) is therefore crucial. Of …
