• Abstract summary: We introduce a general numerical method to compute dynamics and multi-time correlations of chains of quantum systems. We study the thermalization of individual spins of a short XYZ Heisenberg chain with strongly coupled thermal leads. Our results confirm the complete thermalization of the chain when coupled to a single bath, and reveal distinct effective temperatures in low, mid, and high frequency regimes.

• Abstract: We introduce a general numerical method to compute dynamics and multi-time correlations of chains of quantum systems, where each system may couple strongly to a structured environment. The method combines the process tensor formalism for general (possibly non-Markovian) open quantum systems with time evolving block decimation (TEBD) for 1D chains. It systematically reduces the numerical complexity originating from system-environment correlations before integrating them into the full many-body problem, making a wide range of applications numerically feasible. We illustrate the power of this method by studying two examples. First, we study the thermalization of individual spins of a short XYZ Heisenberg chain with strongly coupled thermal leads. Our results confirm the complete thermalization of the chain when coupled to a single bath, and reveal distinct effective temperatures in low, mid, and high frequency regimes when the chain is placed between a hot and a cold bath. Second, we study the dynamics of diffusion in an longer XY chain, when each site couples to its own bath.

  We study the emergence of prethermal Floquet Time Crystal (pFTC) in disordered multiferroic chains. We derive the phase diagram of the model, characterizing the magnetization, entanglement, and coherence dynamics of the system. We also explore the application of the pFTC as quantum sensors of AC fields.

• Entropy production in the mesoscopic-leads formulation of quantum thermodynamics [0.0]
  entropy production of systems strongly coupled to thermal baths is a core problem of quantum thermodynamics and mesoscopic physics. Recently, the mesoscopic leads approach has emerged as a powerful method for studying such quantum systems strongly coupled to multiple thermal baths. We show numerically, that a system coupled to a single bath exhibits a thermal fixed point at the level of the embedding.

  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.
