Nonequilibrium heat transport in quantum systems coupled to wide-band embeddings provides a striking example of the limitations of the generalized Kadanoff-Baym ansatz (GKBA), while solving the full two-time Kadanoff-Baym equations remains…
We describe microscopic theory for the quantum transport through finite interacting systems connected to noninteracting leads. It can be applied to small systems such as quantum dots, quantum wires, atomic chain, molecule, and so forth. The…
Here we address two nonequilibrium Green's functions approaches for a resonant tunneling structure under a sudden switch of a bias. Our aim is to stress that the time-dependent Keldysh formulation of Jauho, Wingreen and Meir, and the…
Most present applications of time-dependent density functional theory use adiabatic functionals, i.e. the effective potential at time t is determined solely by the density at the same time. This paper discusses a method that aims to go…
In this work we put forward an exact one-particle framework to study nano-scale Josephson junctions out of equilibrium and propose a propagation scheme to calculate the time-dependent current in response to an external applied bias. Using a…
The Keldysh formalism for nonequilibrium Green's functions is a powerful theoretical framework for the description of the electronic structure, spectroscopy, and dynamics of strongly correlated systems. However, the underlying Kadanoff-Baym…
We reconsider the Generalized Kadanoff--Baym Ansatz (GKBA) approximation for non-equilibrium Green's functions and extend it to self-consistently define an equilibrium correlated (within GKBA) state in closed systems. The advantage of the…
We derive a kinetic equation with a non-Markovian collision term which includes a memory effect, from Kadanoff-Baym equations in $\phi^4$ theory within the three-loop level for the two-particle irreducible (2PI) effective action. The memory…
We provide a systematic approach to compute different kinds of non-equilibrium Green's functions for open quantum systems which are essentially two-point correlation functions in time. We reveal that the definition of Green's functions…
