We investigate the energy dynamics of a unitary Fermi gas driven away from equilibrium. The energy is injected into the system by periodically modulating the trapping potential of a spherical unitary Fermi gas, and due to the existence of…
We consider a macroscopic quantum system such as a qubit, interacting with a bath of fermions as in the Fr\"ohlich polaron model. The interaction Hamiltonian is thus linear in the macroscopic system variable, and bilinear in the fermions.…

We study energy relaxation in thermalized one-dimensional nonlinear arrays of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam type. The ends of the thermalized systems are placed in contact with a zero-temperature reservoir via damping forces. Harmonic arrays relax…

An exact stochastic model for the thermalisation of quantum states is proposed. The model has various physically appealing properties. The dynamics are characterised by an underlying Schrodinger evolution, together with a nonlinear term…
Over the past decade, substantial progress has been made in clarifying a central question of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou problem: whether weakly nonlinear lattice systems thermalize and, if so, through what mechanisms. The current…
Heat conduction in three-dimenisional nonlinear lattice models is studied using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. We employ the FPU model, in which there exists a nonlinearity in the interaction of biquadratic form. It is…
We consider a one-dimensional Ising model each of whose $N$ spins is in contact with two thermostats of distinct temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$. Under Glauber dynamics the stationary state happens to coincide with the equilibrium state at an…
We consider the stochastic dynamics of a system linearly coupled to a hierarchical thermal bath with two well-separated inherent timescales: one slow, and one fast. The slow part of the bath is modeled as a set of harmonic oscillators and…
Commonly, thermal transport properties of one-dimensional systems are found to be anomalous. Here, we perform a numerical and theoretical study of the $\beta$-FPUT chain, considered a prototypical model for one-dimensional anharmonic…
The thermal response of nonequilibrium systems requires the knowledge of concepts that go beyond entropy production. This is showed for systems obeying overdamped Langevin dynamics, either in steady states or going through a relaxation…
