Abstract

Boundary driven quantum master equation for a general inhomogeneous (non-integrable) anisotropic Heisenberg spin 1/21/2 chain, or an equivalent nearest neighbor interacting spinless fermion chain, is considered in the presence of a strong external field ff. We present an exact closed form expression for large ff asymptotics of the current in the presence of pure incoherent source and sink dissipation at the boundaries. In application we demonstrate arbitrary large current rectification in the presence of interaction.
