We put forward a quantum-optical model for a thermal diode based on heat transfer between
two thermal baths through a pair of interacting qubits. We find that if the qubits are coupled …

We use a recently proposed time-dependent approach to investigate the motion of electrons
in quantum pump device configurations. The occupied one-particle states are propagated in …

We study time-dependent electron transport through an Anderson model. The electronic
interactions on the impurity site are included via the self-energy approximations at Hartree …

We present a comprehensive theoretical investigation on the dynamic electronic response of
a noninteracting quantum dot system to various forms of time-dependent voltage applied to …

Master equations are commonly used to describe time evolution of open systems. We
introduce a general computationally efficient method for calculating a Markovian solution of …

We develop an approach for self-consistent ac quantum transport in the presence of time-
dependent potentials at nontransport terminals. We apply the approach to calculate the high …

Nonstationary and steady-state transport through a mesoscopic sample connected to
particle reservoirs via time-dependent barriers is investigated by the reduced density …

We have developed a method based on the embedded Kadanoff-Baym equations to study
the time evolution of open and inhomogeneous systems. The equation of motion for the …

Charge transport through a nanoscale junction coupled to two macroscopic electrodes is
investigated for the situation when bound states are present. We provide numerical …

We calculate analytically the Floquet scattering matrix for a periodically driven double barrier
structure. Our approach takes into account dynamical effects which become necessarily …
