The Smrcka-Streda version of Kubos linear response formula is widely used in the literature to compute non-equilibrium transport properties of heterostructures. It is particularly useful for the evaluation of intrinsic transport properties associated with the Berry curvature of the Bloch states, such as anomalous and spin Hall currents as well as the damping-like component of the spin-orbit torque. Here, we demonstrate in a very general way that the widely used decomposition of the Kubo-Bastin formula introduced by Smrcka and Streda contains an overlap, which has lead to widespread confusion in the literature regarding the Fermi surface and Fermi sea contributions. To remedy this pathology, we propose a new decomposition of the Kubo-Bastin formula based on the permutation properties of the correlation function and derive a new set of formulas, without an overlap, that provides direct access to the transport effects of interest. We apply these new formulas to selected cases and demonstrate that the Fermi sea and Fermi surface contributions can be uniquely addressed with our symmetrized approach.

Theoretical predictions and recent experimental results suggest one can engineer spin Hall effect in graphene by enhancing the spin-orbit coupling in the vicinity of an impurity. We use a Chebyshev expansion of the Kubo-Bastin formula to compute the
spin conductivity tensor for a tight-binding model of graphene with randomly distributed impurities absorbed on top of carbon atoms. We model the impurity-induced spin-orbit coupling with a graphene-only Hamiltonian that takes into account three different contributions~cite{Gmitra2013} and show how the spin Hall and longitudinal conductivities depend on the strength of each spin-orbit coupling and the concentration of impurities. Additionally, we calculate the real-space projection of the density of states in the vicinity of the Dirac point for single and multiple impurities and correlate these results with the conductivity calculations.
The Kubo fluctuation-dissipation theorem relates the current fluctuations of a system in an equilibrium state with the linear AC-conductance. This theorem holds also out of equilibrium provided that the system is in a stationary state and that the li
near conductance is replaced by the (dynamic) conductance with respect to the non equilibrium state. We provide a simple proof for that statement and then apply it in two cases. We first show that in an excess noise measurement at zero temperature, in which the impedance matching is maintained while driving a mesoscopic sample out of equilibrium, it is the nonsymmetrized noise power spectrum which is measured, even if the bare measurement, i.e. without extracting the excess part of the noise, obtains the symmetrized noise. As a second application we derive a commutation relation for the two components of fermionic or bosonic currents which holds in every stationary state and which is a generalization of the one valid only for bosonic currents. As is usually the case, such a commutation relation can be used e.g. to derive Heisenberg uncertainty relationships among these current components.
Current quantum noise can be pictured as a sum over transitions through which the electronic system exchanges energy with its environment. We formulate this picture and use it to show which type of current correlators are measurable, and in what meas
urement the zero point fluctuations will play a role (the answer to the latter is as expected: only if the detector excites the system.) Using the above picture, we calculate and give physical interpretation of the finite-frequency finite-temperature current noise in a noninteracting Landauer-type system, where the chemical potentials of terminals 1 and 2 are $mu+eV/2$ and $mu-eV/2$ respectively, and derive a detailed-balance condition for this nonequilibrium system. Finally, we derive a generalized form of the Kubo formula for a wide class of interacting nonequilibrium systems, relating the differential conductivity to the current noise.
In computing electric conductivity based on the Kubo formula, the vertex corrections describe such effects as anisotropic scattering and quantum interference and are important to quantum transport properties. These vertex corrections are obtained by
solving Bethe-Salpeter equations, which can become numerically intractable when a large number of k-points and multiple bands are involved. We introduce a non-iterative approach to the vertex correction based on rank factorization of the impurity vertices, which significantly alleviate the computational burden. We demonstrate that this method can be implemented along with effective Hamiltonians extracted from electronic structure calculations on perfect crystals, thereby enabling quantitative analysis of quantum effects in electron conduction for real materials.
Linear response theory plays a prominent role in various fields of physics and provides us with extensive information about the thermodynamics and dynamics of quantum and classical systems. Here we develop a general theory for the linear response in
non-Hermitian systems with non-unitary dynamics and derive a modified Kubo formula for the generalized susceptibility for arbitrary (Hermitian and non-Hermitian) system and perturbation. As an application, we evaluate the dynamical response of a non-Hermitian, one-dimensional Dirac model with imaginary and real masses, perturbed by a time-dependent electric field. The model has a rich phase diagram, and in particular, features a tachyon phase, where excitations travel faster than an effective speed of light. Surprisingly, we find that the dc conductivity of tachyons is finite, and the optical sum rule is exactly satisfied for all masses. Our results highlight the peculiar properties of the Kubo formula for non-Hermitian systems and are applicable for a large variety of settings.
