Quantum Heat Transport: PerturbationTheory in Liouville Space

چکیده
We consider chains consisting of several identical subsystems weakly coupled by various types of next neighbor interactions. At both ends the chain is coupled to a respective heat bath with different temperature modeled by a Lindblad formalism. The temperature gradient introduced by this environment is then treated as an external perturbation. We propose a method to calculate the heat current and the local temperature profile of the resulting stationary state as well as the heat conductivity in such systems. This method is similar to Kubo techniques used e.g. for electrical transport but extended here to the Liouville space.

متن کاملTransport in molecular states language: Generalized quantum master equation approach
A simple scheme, capable of treating transport in molecular junctions in the language of many-body states, is presented. By introducing an ansatz in Liouville space, similar to the generalized Kadanoff-Baym approximation, a quantum master equation QME -like expression is derived starting from the exact equation of motion for Hubbard operators. Using an effective Liouville space propagation, a d...
متن کاملTransport Equations from Liouville Equations for Fractional Systems
We consider dynamical systems that are described by fractional power of coordinates and momenta. The fractional powers can be considered as a convenient way to describe systems in the fractional dimension space. For the usual space the fractional systems are non-Hamiltonian. Generalized transport equation is derived from Liouville and Bogoliubov equations for fractional systems. Fractional gene...
متن کاملExperimental characterization of coherent magnetization transport in a one-dimensional spin system
We experimentally characterize the non-equilibrium, roomtemperature magnetization dynamics of a spin chain evolving under an effective double-quantum (DQ) Hamiltonian. We show that the Liouville space operators corresponding to the magnetization and the two-spin correlations evolve 90 degrees out of phase with each other, and drive the transport dynamics. For a nearest-neighbor-coupled N -spin ...
متن کاملOn the heat kernel and the Dirichlet form of Liouville Brownian motion*
In [15], a Feller process called Liouville Brownian motion onR has been introduced. It can be seen as a Brownian motion evolving in a random geometry given formally by the exponential of a (massive) Gaussian Free Field e X and is the right diffusion process to consider regarding 2d-Liouville quantum gravity. In this note, we discuss the construction of the associated Dirichlet form, following e...
