How can we derive Fourier's Law from quantum mechanics? Exact master equation analysis
Lian-Ao Wu, Dvira Segal
We derive the macroscopic Fourier's Law of heat conduction from the exact gain-loss time convolutionless quantum master equation under three assumptions for the interaction kernel.…
Nonlinear thermal control in an N-terminal junction
Dvira Segal
We demonstrate control over heat flow in an N-terminal molecular junction. Using simple model Hamiltonians we show that the heat current through two terminals can be tuned, switche…
Non-Equilibrium Quantum Dissipation
Dvira Segal, David R. Reichman, Andrew J. Millis
Dissipative processes in non-equilibrium many-body systems are fundamentally different than their equilibrium counterparts. Such processes are of great importance for the understan…
Zeno and anti-Zeno dynamics in spin-bath models
Dvira Segal, David R. Reichman
We investigate the quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno effects in spin bath models: the spin-boson model and a spin-fermion model. We show that the Zeno-anti-Zeno transition is critically c…
