We calculate the non-equilibrium charge transport properties of nanoscale junctions in the steady state and extend the concept of charge susceptibility to the non-equilibrium conditions. We show that the non-equilibrium charge…
Constructing a thermodynamic framework for nonequilibrium systems remains a major challenge, as quantities such as temperature and free energy often become ambiguous when inferred solely from steady-state properties. Here we take a…
We study the steady state of a multiply-connected system that is driven out of equilibrium by a sparse perturbation. The prototype example is an $N$-site ring coupled to a thermal bath, driven by a stationary source that induces transitions…
The fluctuating dynamics of a network about its stable, noise-free steady state are theoretically investigated. Various causes of non-equilibrium dynamics are identified in terms of the properties and symmetry of the network connections and…

We present an approach to steady-state mesoscopic transport based on the maximum entropy principle formulation of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. This approach is valid in the nonlinear regime of high current, and yields the…
The paper is concerned with a dissipativity theory and robust performance analysis of discrete-time stochastic systems driven by a statistically uncertain random noise. The uncertainty is quantified by the conditional relative entropy of…
The existence and uniqueness of a steady state for nonequilibrium systems (NESS) is a fundamental subject and a main theme of research in statistical mechanics for decades. For Gaussian systems, such as a chain of harmonic oscillators…
We propose a solution to the problem of realizing a predefined and arbitrary pure quantum state, based on the simultaneous presence of coherent and dissipative dynamics, noncommuting on the target state and in the limit of strong…
We demonstrate that the nonequilibrium steady state (NESS) of an open-system Holstein model with linear bias displays extreme sensitivity to the closed system parameters. This sensitivity is shown to correspond to avoided crossings in the…
We consider the Nernst-Planck-Stokes system on a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d=2,3$ with general nonequilibrium Dirichlet boundary conditions for the ionic concentrations. It is well known that, in a wide range of cases, equilibrium…
Phase transitions in non-equilibrium steady states of O(n)-symmetric models with reversible mode couplings are studied using dynamic field theory and the renormalization group. The systems are driven out of equilibrium by dynamical…
We analyze a class of linear shell models subject to stochastic forcing in finitely many degrees of freedom. The unforced systems considered formally conserve energy. Despite being formally conservative, we show that these dynamical systems…
Analytical models describing the motion of colloidal particles in given velocity fields are presented. In addition to local approaches, leading to well known master equations such as the Langevin and the Fokker-Planck equations, a global…
Consider (for simplicity) two one-dimensional semi-infinite leads coupled to a quantum well via time dependent point interactions. In the remote past the system is decoupled, and each of its components is at thermal equilibrium. In the…
Mechanisms of resistivity can be divided into two basic classes: one is dissipative (like scattering on phonons) and another is quasi-elastic (like scattering on static impurities). They are often treated by the empirical Matthiessen rule,…
We compare the semiclassical description of NEMS within and beyond the adiabatic approximation. We consider a NEMS model which contains a single phonon (oscillator) mode linearly coupled to an electronic few-level system in contact with…
We extend Onsager's minimum dissipation principle to stationary states that are only subject to local equilibrium constraints, even when the transport coefficients depend on the thermodynamic forces. Crucial to this generalization is a…
