In this work, we establish a so-called system-bath entanglement theorem, for arbitrary systems coupled with Gaussian environments. This theorem connects the entangled system-bath response functions in the total composite space to those of local systems, as long as the interacting bath spectral densities are given. We validate the theorem with the direct evaluation via the exact dissipaton-equation-of-motion approach. Therefore, this work enables various quantum dissipation theories, which originally describe only the reduced system dynamics, for their evaluations on the system-bath entanglement properties. Numerical demonstrations are carried out on the Fano interference spectroscopies of spin-boson systems.

Understanding non-equilibrium heat transport is crucial for controling heat flow in nano-scale systems. We study thermal energy transfer in a generalized non-equilibrium spin-boson model (NESB) with non-commutative system-bath coupling operators and discover unusual transport properties. Compared to the conventional NESB, the heat current is greatly enhanced by rotating the coupling operators. Constructive contribution to thermal rectification can be optimized when two sources of asymmetry, system-bath coupling strength and coupling operators, coexist. At the weak coupling and the adiabatic limit, the scaling dependence of heat current on the coupling strength and the system energy gap changes drastically when the coupling operators become non-commutative. These scaling relations can further be explained analytically by the non-equilibrium polaron-transformed Redfield equation. These novel transport properties, arising from the pure quantum effect of non-commutative coupling operators, should generally appear in other non-equilibrium set-ups and driven-systems.
We propose a quasi-particle description for the hierarchical equations of motion formalism for quantum dissipative dynamics systems. Not only it provides an alternative mathematical means to the existing formalism, the new protocol clarifies also explicitly the physical meanings of the auxiliary density operators and their relations to full statistics on solvation bath variables. Combining with the standard linear response theory, we construct further the hierarchical dynamics formalism for correlated spectrum of system--bath coherence. We evaluate the spectrum matrix for a demonstrative spin-boson system-bath model. While the individual diagonal element of the spectrum matrix describes the system or the solvation bath correlation, the off-diagonal elements characterize the correlation between system and bath solvation dynamics.
In this article we generalize the classical Edgeworth expansion for the probability density function (PDF) of sums of a finite number of symmetric independent identically distributed random variables with a finite variance to sums of variables with an infinite variance which converge by the generalized central limit theorem to a Levy $alpha$-stable density function. Our correction may be written by means of a series of fractional derivatives of the Levy and the conjugate Levy PDFs. This series expansion is general and applies also to the Gaussian regime. To describe the terms in the series expansion, we introduce a new family of special functions and briefly discuss their properties. We implement our generalization to the distribution of the momentum for atoms undergoing Sisyphus cooling, and show the improvement of our leading order approximation compared to previous approximations. In vicinity of the transition between L{e}vy and Gauss behaviors, convergence to asymptotic results slows down.
We investigate three kinds of heat produced in a system and a bath strongly coupled via an interaction Hamiltonian. By studying the energy flows between the system, the bath, and their interaction, we provide rigorous definitions of two types of heat, $Q_{rm S}$ and $Q_{rm B}$ from the energy loss of the system and the energy gain of the bath, respectively. This is in contrast to the equivalence of $Q_{rm S}$ and $Q_{rm B}$, which is commonly assumed to hold in the weak coupling regime. The bath we consider is equipped with a thermostat which enables it to reach an equilibrium. We identify another kind of heat $Q_{rm SB}$ from the energy dissipation of the bath into the super bath that provides the thermostat. We derive the fluctuation theorems (FTs) with the system variables and various heats, which are discussed in comparison with the FT for the total entropy production. We take an example of a sliding harmonic potential of a single Brownian particle in a fluid and calculate the three heats in a simplified model. These heats are found to equal on average in the steady state of energy, but show different fluctuations at all times.
A model computational quantum thermodynamic network is constructed with two variable temperature baths coupled by a linker system, with an asymmetry in the coupling of the linker to the two baths. It is found in computational simulations that the baths come to thermal equilibrium at different bath energies and temperatures. In a sense, heat is observed to flow from cold to hot. A description is given in which a recently defined quantum entropy $S^Q_{univ}$ for a pure state universe continues to increase after passing through the classical equilibrium point of equal temperatures, reaching a maximum at the asymmetric equilibrium. Thus, a second law account $Delta S^Q_{univ} ge 0$ holds for the asymmetric quantum process. In contrast, a von Neumann entropy description fails to uphold the entropy law, with a maximum near when the two temperatures are equal, then a decrease $Delta S^{vN} < 0$ on the way to the asymmetric equilibrium.
