Authors: Madhumita Saha, B. Prasanna Venkatesh, and Bijay Kumar Agarwalla
Abstract summary: We investigate the environment induced effects on transport properties for quasi-periodic systems by considering the B"uttiker probe approach. We first consider voltage probe situation and study the electrical conductance properties in the linear response regime. We extend our study and consider voltage-temperature probes to analyze the thermoelectric performance of the chain in terms of the figure of merit.

Abstract: Quasi-periodic lattice systems offer diverse transport properties. In this work, we investigate the environment induced effects on transport properties for quasi-periodic systems, namely the one-dimensional Aubry-Andr\'e-Harper (AAH) lattice chain and its generalized version (GAAH) by considering the B\"uttiker probe approach. We first consider voltage probe situation and study the electrical conductance properties in the linear response regime. At zero temperature, we observe enhancement in conductance at all the no-transport regimes, located both inside and outside of the band of the original system, for small probe coupling strength $\gamma$ with a power-law scaling $\gamma^4$. Whereas, for large probe coupling strengths, the conductance at all Fermi energies is the same and decays as a power-law with scaling $1/\gamma^4$. This particular scaling survives even in the finite-temperature limit. Interestingly, this scaling result is different from the one recently predicted following the local Lindblad master equation approach. The transport eventually becomes diffusive for all energy ranges and in all regimes of the original model for a sufficiently strong coupling with the probes. We further extend our study and consider voltage-temperature probes to analyze the thermoelectric performance of the chain in terms of the figure of merit. We also demonstrate the validity of two recently obtained bounds on thermoelectric efficiency that are tighter than the seminal Carnot bound and express the same in terms of the Onsager's transport coefficients.

Resilience of the quantum critical line in the Schmid transition [0.35342120781147623]
Schmid predicted that a single Josephson junction coupled to a resistive environment undergoes a quantum phase transition to an insulating phase when the shunt resistance exceeds the resistance quantum $h/(4 e 2)$. Recent measurements and theoretical studies have sparked a debate on whether the location of this transition depends on the ratio between the Josephson and the charging energies. We demonstrate that the transition line between superconducting and insulating behavior is indeed independent of this energy ratio.

Super-diffusive transport in two-dimensional Fermionic wires [0.0]
The power-law behavior is attributed to the presence of energy eigenstates of diverging localization length below some energy cutoff, $E_c$. We show that the conductance scales diffusively or with different sub-diffusive power-laws depending on the sign of the expectation value of the disorder and the parameters of the wire.

We use Markovian feedback control to synthesize two effective thermal baths that couple to the boundaries of a one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard chain. We investigate the steady-state heat current, including its scaling with system size and its response to disorder. We provide a route for the quantum simulation of heat-current-carrying steady states of matter in atomic quantum gases.

Thermoelectric properties of topological chains coupled to a quantum dot [40.19796930944118]
Topological one-dimensional superconductors can sustain in their extremities zero energy modes that are protected by different kinds of symmetries. We consider the simplest kind of topological insulators, namely chains of atoms with hybridized $sp$ orbitals. We show that the electrical conductance and the Wiedemann-Franz ratio of the device at the topological transition have universal values at very low temperatures.

We study the finite-temperature electric and heat transport of the Fibonacci model in linear response. We find that the thermal and electric conductivities have multiple peaks as a function of dephasing strength.

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.
