We show that simple diffusive systems, such as the Lorentz gas and multibaker maps are perfectly compatible with the laws of irreversible thermodynamics, despite the fact that the moving particles, or their equivalents, in these models do…
The linear laws of transport phenomena are central in our description of irreversible processes in systems across the physical sciences. Linear irreversible thermodynamics allows for the identification of the underlying forces driving…
We present a detailed study of the first simple mechanical system that shows fully realistic transport behavior while still being exactly solvable at the level of equilibrium statistical mechanics. The system under consideration is a…
It is shown that the lesser and greater self energies and Green functions calculated in a recent work on universal noequilibrium transport in interacting quantum dots [E. Mu\~noz, C. J. Bolech, and S. Kirchner, Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 016601…
The Lorentz gas is one of the simplest, most widely used models to study the transport properties of rarified gases in matter. It describes the dynamics of a cloud of non-interacting point particles in an infinite array of fixed spherical…
In this paper, we will critically discuss recent theoretical and experimental developments on the transport of one dimensional quantum systems. In particular, we will focus on open issues and controversial results related to the finite…
An ab initio based theoretical approach to describe nonequilibrium many-body effects in molecular transport is developed. We introduce a basis of localized molecular orbitals and formulate the many-body model in this basis. In particular,…
A consistent description of simultaneous heat and particle transport, including cross effects, and the associated entropy balance is given in the framework of a deterministic dynamical system. This is achieved by a multibaker map where,…
Thermodynamics and transport are investigated in a holographic QCD model that extends the Einstein--Maxwell--Dilaton framework by incorporating Gauss--Bonnet corrections. Model parameters are fixed using state-of-the-art lattice QCD…
Theoretical and experimental values to date for the resistances of single molecules commonly disagree by orders of magnitude. By reformulating the transport problem using boundary conditions suitable for correlated many-electron systems, we…
Two deterministic models for Brownian motion are investigated by means of numerical simulations and kinetic theory arguments. The first model consists of a heavy hard disk immersed in a rarefied gas of smaller and lighter hard disks acting…
The unification of relativity and thermodynamics has been a subject of considerable debate over the last 100 years. The reasons for this are twofold: (i) Thermodynamic variables are nonlocal quantities and, thus, single out a preferred…
On a Riemannian manifold, lower Ricci curvature bounds are known to be characterized by geodesic convexity properties of various entropies with respect to the Kantorovich-Rubinstein-Wasserstein square distance from optimal transportation.…
The theory of transport phenomena in multicomponent electrolyte solutions is presented here through the integration of continuum mechanics, electromagnetism, and non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The governing equations of irreversible…
Quantum dots are versatile systems for exploring quantum transport, electron correlations, and many-body phenomena such as the Kondo effect. While equilibrium properties are well understood through methods like the numerical renormalization…
We introduce the first simple mechanical system that shows fully realistic transport behavior while still being exactly solvable at the level of equilibrium statistical mechanics. The system under consideration is a Lorentz gas with fixed…
Theoretical foundations of electron transport in mesoscopic systems, based on Landauer theory, Master equations or Onsager linear thermodynamics, are revisited to show that the noniteracting electrons model is insufficient to describe…
The nonlinear transport properties of the Mott insulator are discussed with focus on the many-body Landau-Zener mechanism. After reviewing basic concepts such as the non-adiabatic geometric phase and the Schwinger mechanism, we study the…
G\"oran Lindblad in 1983 published a monograph on non-equilibrium thermodynamics. We here summarize the contents of this book, and provide a perspective on its relation to later developments in statistical physics and quantum physics. We…
Relativistic transport phenomena are important from both theoretical and practical point of view. Accordingly, hydrodynamics of relativistic gas has been extensively studied theoretically. Here, we introduce a three-dimensional canonical…
