Nonequilibrium boundary-driven quantum systems: Models, methods, and properties

GT Landi, D Poletti, G Schaller - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2022 - APS
Recent years have seen tremendous progress in the theoretical understanding of quantum
systems driven dissipatively by coupling to different baths at their edges. This was possible …

M Žnidarič - Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We calculate a nonequilibrium steady state of a quantum XX chain in the presence of
dephasing and driving due to baths at chain ends. The obtained state is exact in the limit of …

Noise-driven dynamics and phase transitions in fermionic systems

B Horstmann, JI Cirac, G Giedke - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and …, 2013 - APS
We study abrupt changes in the dynamics and/or steady state of fermionic noise-driven
systems produced by small changes in the system parameters. Specifically, we consider …
