- Abstract: We investigate the behavior in time of the energy current between a quantum
spin chain and its surrounding non-Markovian, finite temperature baths,
together with its relationship to the coherence dynamics of the system. To be
specific, both the system and the baths are assumed to be initially in thermal
equilibrium at temperature $T_s$ and $T_b$, respectively. This model plays a
fundamental role for the study of quantum system evolution towards thermal
equilibrium in an open system. The non-Markovian quantum state diffusion
(NMQSD) equation approach is used to calculate the dynamics of the spin chain.
The effects of bath non-Markovinity, temperature difference and system-bath
interaction strength on the energy current and the coherence in warm and cold
baths are analyzed, respectively. For both cases, our calculation results show
that strong non-Markovianity, weak system-bath interaction and low temperature
difference will be helpful to maintain the coherence of the system and
correspond to a small energy current. Interestingly, the warm baths destroy the
coherence while the cold baths help to generate coherence. Furthermore, the
effects of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya ($DM$) interaction and the external
magnetic field on the energy current and coherence are analyzed. Both energy
current and coherence will change due to the improvement of the system energy
induced by the $DM$ interaction and magnetic field. Significantly, the lowest
coherence corresponds to the critical magnetic field which causes the first
order phase transition.

We show that at the shortest timescales there is an energy increase in each system linked to the entropy gain.
Counter-intuitively, this implies that also the hotter of the two systems generically experiences an initial energy increase when brought into contact with the other colder system.
In the limit where the energy relaxation overwhelms the (quantum) correlation build-up, classical energy dynamics emerges where the energy in the hot system decreases immediately upon contact with a cooler system.

We study the behavior of quantum coherence of a displaced squeezed thermal state in contact with an external bath.
We find that when the coupling between the system and the environment is weak, the coherence decays monotonically and exhibit a Markovian nature.
We also present the steady state dynamics of the coherence in the long time limit in both low and high temperature regime.

We investigate the heat transfer between system and bath in non-Markovian open systems in the process of adiabatic speedup.
Heat current increases with increasing system-bath coupling strength and bath temperature, but can be restricted by the non-Markovian nature of the bath.
We show that non-Markovianity is a useful tool to drive the system through an approximate adiabatic dynamics.

We study a two level system coupled to a first thermal reservoir that in turn couples to a second thermal bath at a different temperature.
We observe prethermalization, a transitory phenomenon in which the system initially approaches thermal equilibrium with respect to the first reservoir.
In this case, the energy current through the system may exhibit transient features and even switch direction, before the system eventually reaches a non-equilibrium steady state.
