By using a correlated projection operator, the time-convolutionless (TCL) method to derive a quantum master equation can be utilized to investigate the transport behavior of quantum systems as well. Here, we analyze a three-dimensional anisotropic quantum model system according to this technique. The system consists of Heisenberg coupled two-level systems in one direction and weak random interactions in all other ones. Depending on the partition chosen, we obtain ballistic behavior along the…

Projection operator approach to transport in complex single-particle quantum systems
We discuss the time-convolutionless (TCL) projection operator approach to transport in closed quantum systems. The projection onto local densities of quantities such as energy, magnetization,…
Projection Operator Techniques and Hilbert Space Average Method1
A common feature of quantum systems for which “non-equilibrium statistical mechanics” is applied is that they are too complex to be boldly solved by the corresponding time-dependent Schrodinger…
Dephasing-induced diffusive transport in the anisotropic Heisenberg model
In this work, we study the transport properties of the anisotropic Heisenberg model in a disordered magnetic field and in the presence of dephasing due to external degrees of freedom. Without…
Heat transport in quantum spin chains: Relevance of integrability
We investigate heat transport in various quantum spin chains, using the projector operator technique. We find that anomalous heat transport is linked not to the integrability of the Hamiltonian, but…
Multiple Scattering of waves in anisotropic random media
In this thesis we develop a mathematical model that describes the propagation of waves through anisotropic disordered matter. There are many wave phenomena which can all be described by comparable…
