A statistical quasi-particles thermofield theory with Gaussian environments: System-bath entanglement theorem for nonequilibrium correlation functions

arXiv:2111.09082 · doi:10.1063/5.0094875

Abstract

For open quantum systems, the Gaussian environmental dissipative effect can be represented by statistical quasi-particles, namely, dissipatons. We exploit this fact to establish the dissipaton thermofield theory. The resulting generalized Langevin dynamics of absorptive and emissive thermofield operators are effectively noise-resolved. The system-bath entanglement theorem is then readily followed between an important class of nonequilibrium steady-state correlation functions. All these relations are validated numerically. A simple corollary is the transport current expression, which exactly recovers the result obtained from the nonequilibrium Green's function formalism.
