The role of quantum coherence and correlations in heat flow and equilibration is investigated by exploring the Rayleighs dynamical problem to equilibration in the quantum regime and following Onsagers approach to thermoelectricity. Specifically, we consider a qubit bombarded by two-qubit projectiles from a side. For arbitrary collision times and initial states, we develop the master equation for sequential and collective collisions. By deriving the Fokker-Planck equation out of the master equation, we identify the quantum version of the Rayleighs heat conduction equation. We find that quantum discord and entanglement shared between the projectiles can contribute to genuine heat flow only when they are associated with so-called heat-exchange coherences. Analogous to Onsagers use of Rayleighs principle of least dissipation of energy, we use the entropy production rate to identify the coherence current. Both coherence and heat flows can be written in the form of quantum Onsager relations, from which we predict coherent Peltier and coherent Seebeck effects. The effects can be optimized by the collision times and collectivity. Finally, we discuss some of the possible experimental realizations and technological applications of the thermocoherent phenomena in different platforms.

Within holography the DC conductivity can be obtained by solving a system of Stokes equations for an auxiliary fluid living on the black hole horizon. We show that these equations can be derived from a novel variational principle involving a function
al that depends on the fluid variables of interest as well as the time reversed quantities. This leads to simple derivation of the Onsager relations for the conductivity. We also obtain the relevant Stokes equations for bulk theories of gravity in four dimensions including a $vartheta Fwedge F$ term in the Lagrangian, where $vartheta$ is a function of dynamical scalar fields. We discuss various realisations of the anomalous Hall conductivity that this term induces and also solve the Stokes equations for holographic lattices which break translations in one spatial dimension.
We develop a quantum theory of atomic Rayleigh scattering. Scattering is considered as a relaxation of incident photons from a selected mode of free space to the reservoir of the other free space modes. Additional excitations of the reservoir states
which appear are treated as scattered light. We show that an entangled state of the excited atom and the incident photon is formed during the scattering. Due to entanglement, a photon is never completely absorbed by the atom. We show that even if the selected mode frequency is incommensurable with any atomic transition frequency, the scattered light spectrum has a maximum at the frequency of the selected mode. The linewidth of scattered light is much smaller than that of the spontaneous emission of a single atom, therefore, the process can be considered as elastic. The developed theory does not use the phenomenological concept of virtual level.
The relation between completely positive maps and compound states is investigated in terms of the notion of quantum conditional probability.
We consider the transformation properties of integer sequences arising from the normal ordering of exponentiated boson ([a,a*]=1) monomials of the form exp(x (a*)^r a), r=1,2,..., under the composition of their exponential generating functions (egf).
They turn out to be of Sheffer-type. We demonstrate that two key properties of these sequences remain preserved under substitutional composition: (a)the property of being the solution of the Stieltjes moment problem; and (b) the representation of these sequences through infinite series (Dobinski-type relations). We present a number of examples of such composition satisfying properties (a) and (b). We obtain new Dobinski-type formulas and solve the associated moment problem for several hierarchically defined combinatorial families of sequences.
In Newtonian mechanics, any closed-system dynamics of a composite system in a microstate will leave all its individual subsystems in distinct microstates, however this fails dramatically in quantum mechanics due to the existence of quantum entangleme
nt. Here we introduce the notion of a `coherent work process, and show that it is the direct extension of a work process in classical mechanics into quantum theory. This leads to the notion of `decomposable and `non-decomposable quantum coherence and gives a new perspective on recent results in the theory of asymmetry as well as early analysis in the theory of classical random variables. Within the context of recent fluctuation relations, originally framed in terms of quantum channels, we show that coherent work processes play the same role as their classical counterparts, and so provide a simple physical primitive for quantum coherence in such systems. We also introduce a pure state effective potential as a tool with which to analyze the coherent component of these fluctuation relations, and which leads to a notion of temperature-dependent mean coherence, provides connections with multi-partite entanglement, and gives a hierarchy of quantum corrections to the classical Crooks relation in powers of inverse temperature.
