Thermalization and ergodicity in many-body open quantum systems
Marko Znidaric, Tomaz Prosen, Giuliano Benenti +2
We study thermalization in many-body quantum systems locally coupled to an external bath. It is shown that quantum chaotic systems do thermalize, that is, they exhibit relaxation t…
Exact solution of Markovian master equations for quadratic fermi systems: thermal baths, open XY spin chains, and non-equilibrium phase transition
Tomaz Prosen, Bojan Zunkovic
We generalize the method of third quantization to a unified exact treatment of Redfield and Lindblad master equations for open quadratic systems of n fermions in terms of diagonali…
An exactly solvable model of a highly efficient thermoelectric engine
Martin Horvat, Tomaz Prosen, Giulio Casati
We propose a simple classical dynamical model of a thermoelectric (or thermochemical) heat engine based on a pair of ideal gas containers connected by two unequal scattering channe…
A one dimensional hard-point gas as a thermoelectric engine
Jiao Wang, Giulio Casati, Tomaz Prosen +1
We demonstrate the possibility to build a thermoelectric engine using a one dimensional gas of molecules with unequal masses and hard-point interaction. Most importantly, we show t…
Operator Space Entanglement Entropy in XY Spin Chains
Iztok Pizorn, Tomaz Prosen
The complexity of representation of operators in quantum mechanics can be characterized by the operator space entanglement entropy (OSEE). We show that in the homogeneous Heisenber…
Charge and spin transport in strongly correlated one-dimensional quantum systems driven far from equilibrium
Giuliano Benenti, Giulio Casati, Tomaz Prosen +2
We study the charge conductivity in one-dimensional prototype models of interacting particles, such as the Hubbard and the t-V spinless fermion model, when coupled to some external…
