Abstract

We study the quantum transport of bosons through a quantum dot coupled to two macroscopic heat baths LL and RR, held at fixed temperatures TLT_{L} and TRT_{R} respectively. We manage to cast the particle as well as the heat current into the Landauer form. Following the correlation matrix approach, we compute the time-dependent mutual information of the dot with the baths. We find that mutual information goes logarithmically as the number of bosons, and at low temperatures, it is possible to set up the parameters in such a way that in steady-state, the mutual information goes quadratically as a function of current.
