Exact Solution for the Heat Conductance in Harmonic Chains
G. A. Weiderpass, Gustavo M. Monteiro, A. O. Caldeira
We present an exact solution for the heat conductance along a harmonic chain connecting two reservoirs at different temperatures. In this model, the end points correspond to Browni…

von Neumann entropy and the entropy production of a damped harmonic oscillator
G. A. Weiderpass, A. O. Caldeira
In this paper we analyze the entropy and entropy production of a non-isolated quantum system described within the quantum Brownian motion framework. This is a very general and para…
