Thermalization in Open Quantum Systems
arXiv:1711.02699 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.97.134301
Abstract
We study thermalization in open quantum systems using the Lindblad formalism. A method that both thermalizes and couples to Lindblad operators only at edges of the system is introduced. Our method leads to a Gibbs state of the system, satisfies fluctuation-dissipation relations, and applies both to integrable and non-integrable systems. Possible applications of the method include the study of systems coupled locally to multiple reservoirs. Our analysis also highlights the limits of applicability of the Lindblad approach to study strongly driven systems.
