Electrical conductance is quantized in units of $\sigma_{\rm Q}=2e^2/h$ in ballistic one-dimensional conductors. Similarly, thermal conductance at temperature $T$ is expected to be limited by the quantum of thermal conductance of one mode,…
The Time Dependent Boltzmann equation (TDBE) is a viable option to study strongly out-of-equilibrium thermalization dynamics which are becoming increasingly critical for many novel physical applications like Ultrafast thermalization,…
Universality of classical thermodynamics rests on the central limit theorem, due to which, measurements of thermal fluctuations are unable to reveal detailed information regarding the microscopic structure of a macroscopic body. When small…

In this work we apply Thompson's method (of the dimensions) to study the quantum electrodynamics (QED). This method can be considered as a simple and alternative way to the renormalisation group (R.G) approach and when applied to QED…
In solving the problem of finding a temperature distribution which, at zero temperature, corresponds to superfluidity, i.e., to nonzero energy, the author tried to quantize free energy. This was done on the basis of supersecondary…

Thermoelectric effects in a quantum dot coupled to the source and drain charge reservoirs are explored using a nonequilibrium Green's functions formalism beyond the Hartree-Fock approximation. Thermal transport is analyzed within a linear…
Motivated by the recently observed failure of the kinetic theory for the bulk viscosity, we in turn revisit the shear viscosity and the thermal conductivity of two-component fermions with a zero-range interaction both in two and three…
Two aspects of conductive heat are focused here (i) the nature of conductive heat, defined as that form of energy that is transferred as a result of a temperature difference and (ii) the nature of the intermolecular potentials that induces…
It has been shown that the high-temperature limit of perturbative thermal QCD is easily obtained from the Boltzmann transport equation for `classical' coloured particles. We generalize this treatment to curved space-time. We are thus able…
