Current Partition: A Nonequilibrium Green’s Function Approach

Quantum thermodynamics: a nonequilibrium Green's function approach.

We establish the foundations of a nonequilibrium theory of quantum thermodynamics for noninteracting open quantum systems strongly coupled to their reservoirs within the framework of the nonequilibrium Green's functions. The energy of the system and its coupling to the reservoirs are controlled by a slow external time-dependent force treated to first order beyond the quasistatic limit. We deriv...

Greens relations on the partition monoid and several related monoids

We describe Green’s relations on the partition monoid, two of its submonoids, and the related Jones and Brauer monoids.

Quantum Transport with Spin Dephasing: A Nonequilibrium Green's Function Approach

A quantum transport model incorporating spin scattering processes is presented using the non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) formalism within the self-consistent Born approximation. This model offers a unified approach by capturing the spin-flip scattering and the quantum effects simultaneously. A numerical implementation of the model is illustrated for magnetic tunnel junction devices with...
