We study how translationally invariant couplings of many-body systems and nonequilibrium baths can be used to rectify particle currents. We propose novel setups to realize bath-induced currents in nonequilibrium steady states of one-dimensional open fermionic systems. We first analyze dissipative dynamics associated with a nonreciprocal Lindblad operator and identify a class of Lindblad operators that are sufficient to acquire a nonreciprocal current. Remarkably, we show that rectification can…

A new method is developed for the construction of one-dimensional integrable Lindblad systems, which describe quantum many body models in contact with a Markovian environment and establishes a structured approach to the study of solvable open quantum systems.

Collective Excitations and Nonequilibrium Phase Transition in Dissipative Fermionic Superfluids.

It is demonstrated that when dissipation is introduced to one of the two superfluids coupled via a Josephson junction, it gives rise to a nonequilibrium dynamical phase transition characterized by the vanishing dc Josephson current.

Boundary conditions for open quantum systems driven far from equilibrium

This is a study of simple kinetic models of open systems, in the sense of systems that can exchange conserved particles with their environment. The system is assumed to be one dimensional and…

I and i

There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
