• Abstract summary: We investigate the transient dynamics of several bosonic reservoirs connected through an open quantum system. We show that there are various types of temperature dynamics that strongly depend on the values of dissipative rates and initial temperatures. The obtained results pave the way for managing energy flows in mesoscale and nanoscale systems.

• Abstract: The dynamics of open quantum systems connected with several reservoirs attract great attention due to its importance in quantum optics, biology, quantum thermodynamics, transport phenomena, etc. In many problems, the Born approximation is applicable which implies that the influence of the open quantum system on the reservoirs can be neglected. However, in the case of a long-time dynamics or mesoscopic reservoir, the reverse influence can be crucial. In this paper, we investigate the transient dynamics of several bosonic reservoirs connected through an open quantum system. We use an adiabatic approach to study the temporal dynamics of temperatures of the reservoirs during relaxation to thermodynamic equilibrium. We show that there are various types of temperature dynamics that strongly depend on the values of dissipative rates and initial temperatures. We demonstrate that temperatures of the reservoirs can exhibit non-monotonic behavior. Moreover, there are moments of time during which the reservoir with initially intermediate temperature becomes the hottest or coldest reservoir. The obtained results pave the way for managing energy flows in mesoscale and nanoscale systems.

  How to rigorously define thermodynamic quantities such as heat, work, and internal energy in open quantum systems driven far from equilibrium remains a significant open question in quantum thermodynamics. Heat is a quantity whose fundamental definition applies only to processes in systems infinitesimally perturbed from equilibrium. Heat is accounted for carefully in strongly-driven systems.
