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 …

We identify the conditions that guarantee equivalence of the reduced dynamics of an open
quantum system (OQS) for two different types of environments—one a continuous bosonic …

The laws of thermodynamics put limits to the efficiencies of thermal machines. Analogues of
these laws are now established for quantum engines weakly and passively coupled to the …

We theoretically study a simple non-equilibrium quantum network whose dynamics can be
expressed and exactly solved in terms of a time-local master equation. Specifically, we …

We present a methodology to simulate the quantum thermodynamics of thermal machines
which are built from an interacting working medium in contact with fermionic reservoirs at a …

We present the Born-Markov approximated Redfield quantum master equation (RQME)
description for an open system of noninteracting particles (bosons or fermions) on an …

Theoretical treatments of periodically driven quantum thermal machines (PD-QTMs) are
largely focused on the limit-cycle stage of operation characterized by a periodic state of the …

We present a consistent thermodynamic theory for the resonant level model in the wide-
band limit, whose level energy is driven slowly by an external force. The problem of defining …

Understanding the thermodynamics of driven quantum systems strongly coupled to thermal
baths is a central focus of quantum thermodynamics and mesoscopic physics. A variety of …
