Transport with ultra-cold atoms at constant density — •Christian Nietner, Gernot Schaller, and Tobias Brandes — Institut für theoretische Physik, Technische Universität Berlin, Hardenbergstr. 36, 10623 Berlin, Germany

We investigate the transport through a few-level quantum system described by a Markovian master equation with temperature- and particle-density dependent chemical potentials. From the corresponding Onsager relations we extract linear response transport coefficients in analogy to the electronic conductance, thermal conductance and thermopower. Considering ideal Fermi and Bose gas reservoirs we observe steady-state currents against the thermal bias as a result of the non-linearities introduced by the constraint of a constant particle density in the reservoirs. Most importantly, we find signatures of the on-set of Bose-Einstein condensation in the transport coefficients.
