Abstract: Open system simulations of quantum transport provide a platform for the study of true steady states, Floquet states, and the role of temperature, time-dynamics, and fluctuations, among other physical processes. They are rapidly gaining traction, especially techniques that revolve around "extended reservoirs" - a collection of a finite number of degrees of freedom with relaxation that maintain a bias or temperature gradient - and have appeared under various guises (e.g., the extended or mesoscopic reservoir, auxiliary master equation, and driven Liouville-von Neumann approaches). Yet, there are still a number of open questions regarding the behavior and convergence of these techniques. Here, we derive general analytical solutions, and associated asymptotic analyses, for the steady-state current driven by finite reservoirs with proportional coupling to the system/junction. In doing so, we present a simplified and unified derivation of the non-interacting and many-body steady-state currents through arbitrary junctions, including outside of proportional coupling. We conjecture that the analytic solution for proportional coupling is the most general of its form for isomodal relaxation (i.e., relaxing proportional coupling will remove the ability to find compact, general analytical expressions for finite reservoirs). These results should be of broad utility in diagnosing the behavior and implementation of extended reservoir and related approaches, including the convergence to the Landauer limit (for non-interacting systems) and the Meir-Wingreen formula (for many-body systems).

We introduce an accumulative reservoir construction that employs a series of partial refreshes of the extended reservoirs. This provides a unified framework for both continuous (Lindblad) relaxation and a recently introduced periodically refresh approach. We show how the range of behavior impacts errors and the computational cost, including within tensor networks.

Long-range Kitaev chain in a thermal bath: Analytic techniques for time-dependent systems and environments [0.0]
We construct and solve a "minimal model" with which nonequilibrium phenomena in many-body open quantum systems can be studied analytically. Coupling a suitable configuration of baths to a Kitaev chain, we self-consistently derive a Lindblad master equation which, at least in the absence of explicit time dependencies, leads to thermalization. Results permit analytic and efficient numeric descriptions of the nonequilibrium dynamics of open Kitaev chains under a wide range of driving protocols.

Decimation technique for open quantum systems: a case study with driven-dissipative bosonic chains [62.997667081978825]
Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics. We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function. We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.

Hydrodynamics of quantum entropies in Ising chains with linear dissipation [0.0]
We study the dynamics of quantum information and of quantum correlations after a quantum quench, in transverse field Ising chains subject to generic linear dissipation. As we show, in the hydrodynamic limit of long times, large system sizes, and weak dissipation, entropy-related quantities admit a simple description within the so-called quasiparticle picture.

Out-of-time-orderors (OTOCs) have become established as a tool to characterise quantum information dynamics and thermalisation. We show explicitly that the OTOC is indeed a precise tool to explore the fine details of the Eigenstate Thermalisation Hypothesis (ETH) We provide an estimation of the finite-size scaling of $omega_textrmGOE$ for the general class of observables composed of sums of local operators in the infinite-temperature regime.

Probing eigenstate thermalization in quantum simulators via fluctuation-dissipation relations [77.34726150561087]
The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
