Effect of Temperature Gradient on Quantum Transport

Chemical Physics 2022-11-01 v1

Abstract

The recently introduced multisite tensor network path integral (MS-TNPI) method [Bose and Walters, J. Chem. Phys., 2022, 156, 24101.] for simulation of quantum dynamics of extended systems has been shown to be effective in studying one-dimensional systems. Quantum transport in these systems are typically studied at a constant temperature. However, temperature seems to be a very obvious parameter that can be spatially changed to control the quantum transport. Here, MS-TNPI is used to study ``non-equilibrium'' effects of an externally imposed temperature gradient on the quantum transport in one-dimensional extended quantum systems.
