Electrons in tight-binding lattice driven by DC electric field dissipate their energy through on-site fermionic thermostats. Due to the translational invariance in the transport direction, the problem can be block-diagonalized. We solve…
Charge transport is a revealing probe of the quantum properties of materials. Strong interactions can blur charge carriers resulting in a poorly understood "quantum soup". Here we study the conductivity of the Fermi-Hubbard model, a testing…
