We investigate the Lindblad equation in the context of boundary-driven magnetization transport in spin-$1/2$ chains. Our central question is whether the nonequilibrium steady state of the open system, including its buildup in time, can be…

We construct exact steady states of unitary non-equilibrium time evolution in the gapless XXZ spin-1/2 chain where integrability preserves ballistic spin transport at long-times. We characterize the quasi-local conserved quantities…
