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.
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 syste
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 exp
We investigate the thermodynamics of simple (non-interacting) transport models beyond the scope of weak coupling. For a single fermionic or bosonic level -- tunnel-coupled to two reservoirs -- exact expressions for the stationary matter and energy cu
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
We propose a new look at the heat bath for two Brownian particles, in which the heat bath as a `system is both perturbed and sensed by the Brownian particles. Non-local thermal fluctuation give rise to bath-mediated static forces between the particle
