Particle and Energy Transport in quantum disordered and quasi-periodic chains connected to mesoscopic Fermi reservoirs

TL;DR

This paper investigates quantum particle and energy transport in disordered and quasi-periodic chains connected to mesoscopic Fermi reservoirs, analyzing conservation laws and transport properties in nonequilibrium conditions.

Contribution

It introduces a model for nonequilibrium quantum transport in many-body systems linked to meso-reservoirs, focusing on disordered and quasi-periodic chains.

Findings

Conservation laws for particles and energy are established within the model.

Transport properties differ significantly between disordered and quasi-periodic chains.

The study provides insights into nonequilibrium quantum transport mechanisms.

Abstract

We study a model of nonequilibrium quantum transport of particles and energy in a many-body system connected to mesoscopic Fermi reservoirs (the so-called meso-reservoirs). We discuss the conservation laws of particles and energy within our setup as well as the transport properties of quasi-periodic and disordered chains.
