Simulation of Heat Transfer in Quantum Chains Far From Equilibrium — •Thomas Motz, Joachim Ankerhold, and Jürgen T. Stockburger — Institute for Complex Quantum Systems, Ulm University, Albert-Einstein-Allee 11, D-89069 Ulm, Germany
We study heat exchange in open harmonic quantum chains by means of a scalable method also for large system sizes and long relaxation times. Starting from a stochastic Liouville-von Neumann equation that models the coupling of systems to quantum reservoirs by an exact c-number representation [1], we turn this approach to a deterministic set of equations correctly accounting for system-bath correlations for any combinations of harmonic systems arbitrarily strong coupled to ohmic reservoirs [2].
We investigate the time-dependence of the energy fluxes and the corresponding steady-states for various couplings, dampings and temperatures [3,4]. A distinct sensitivity of the fluxes with respect to couplings and impurities is found while correlations reveal a ballistic behavior and recurrence effects for a mismatch of coupling strengths and damping.
