We study heat transport in a one-dimensional inhomogeneous quantum spin 1/2 system. It consists of a finite-size XX spin chain coupled at its ends to semi-infinite XX and XY chains at different temperatures, which play the role of heat and…

This work studies heat transport of bond-disordered spin-1/2 chains. As an example, the XX case is analyzed, which corresponds to a model of noninteracting spinless fermions. Within the fermion representation, the single-particle…

Many experimentally relevant quantum spin chains are approximately integrable, and support long-lived quasiparticle excitations. A canonical example of integrable model of quantum magnetism is the XXZ spin chain, for which energy spreads…

Translation-invariant low-dimensional systems are known to exhibit anomalous heat transport. However, there are systems, such as the coupled-rotor chain, where translation invariance is satisfied, yet transport remains diffusive. It has…

In this perspective, we discuss thermal imbalance and the associated electron-mediated thermal transport in quantum electronic devices at very low temperatures. We first present the theoretical approaches describing heat transport in…

We address the problem of heat transport in a chain of coupled quantum harmonic oscillators, exposed to the influences of local environments of various nature, stressing the effects that the specific nature of the environment has on the…

In this review paper we aim at illustrating recent achievements in anomalous heat diffusion, while highlighting open problems and research perspectives. We briefly recall the main features of the phenomenon for low-dimensional classical…

We study heat transport in quantum spin systems analytically and numerically. First, we demonstrate that heat current through a two-level quantum spin system can be modulated from zero to a finite value by tuning a magnetic field. Second,…

In this Chapter, we present recent theoretical developments on the finite temperature transport of one dimensional electronic and magnetic quantum systems as described by a variety of prototype models. In particular, we discuss the…

We study the heat transport properties of a chain of coupled quantum harmonic oscillators in contact at its ends with two heat reservoirs at distinct temperatures. Our approach is based on the use of an evolution equation for the density…

We study thermal transport in a one-dimensional quantum wire, connected to reservoirs. Despite of the absence of electron backscattering, interactions in the wire strongly influence thermal transport. Electrons propagate with unitary…

We discuss the problem of heat conduction in quantum spin chain models. To investigate this problem it is necessary to consider the finite open system connected to heat baths. We describe two different procedures to couple the system with…

We investigate the heat transport in a nonequilibrium spin-boson model, where a two level system bridging two harmonic reservoirs at different temperatures, by employing a unitary transformation along with a resolvent operator expansion…

Thermal transport is less appreciated in probing quantum materials in comparison to electrical transport. This article aims to show the pivotal role that thermal transport may play in understanding quantum materials: the longitudinal…

We here numerically investigate the heat transport behavior in a one-dimensional lattice with a soft-type (ST) anharmonic interparticle interaction. It is found that with the increase of system's temperature, while the introduction of ST…

We investigate the steady-state transport characteristics of a quantum dot system consisting of a single energy level embedded between two reservoirs under the influence of both the temperature gradient and bias voltage. Within tailored…

In conventional insulating magnets, heat is carried by magnons and phonons. In contrast, when the magnets harbor a quantum spin liquid state, emergent quasiparticles from the fractionalization of quantum spins can carry heat. Here, we…

We study the heat transport in systems of coupled oscillators driven out of equilibrium by Gaussian heat baths. We illustrate with a few examples that such systems can exhibit ``strange'' transport phenomena. In particular, {\em…

Heat transport in open quantum systems is particularly susceptible to the modeling of system-reservoir interactions. It thus requires to consistently treat the coupling between a quantum system and its environment. While perturbative…

Transport and diffusion of heat in one dimensional (1D) nonlinear systems which {\it conserve momentum} is typically thought to proceed anomalously. Notable exceptions, however, exist of which the rotator model is a prominent case.…
