1 (Quantum) chaos theory and statistical physics far from equilibrium: Introducing the group for Non-equilibrium quantum and statistical physics Department of physics, Faculty of mathematics and physics, University of Ljubljana July, 2011
2 People: dr., professor, head of the group dr. Marko Žnudarič, assistant professor, researcher dr. Martin Horvat, researcher Bojan Žunkovič, PhD student Enej Ilievski, PhD student Simon Jesenko, PhD student
3 Research themes We use methods of theoretical and mathematical physics in the intersection among the following fields of contemporary physics: (Hard) condensed matter theory Non-equilibrium statistical mechanics Dynamical systems (Nonlinear dynamics, chaos theory) Quantum information theory Our group is also a part of the bigger program group (P1-0044) Condensed matter theory and statistical physics" shared between Josef Stefan Institute and the Faculty of Math.& Phys. UL
4 Topics of main current research interest: Fundamental: Non-equilibrium quantum transport in low dimensional interacting systems Open quantum many-body system Lindblad master equation approach: Its exact, approximate, and numerical solutions (density-matrix-renormalization group) Non-equilibrium (quantum) phase transitions Quantum maps, quantum chaos, random matrix theory: wave-dynamics, wave-chaos, PT-symmetric Hamiltonians Quantum chaos in many-body systems Quantum Information CHAPTER 5. XY Theory CHAIN FAR FROM andequilibrium Random Matrix Theory Applied: Figure 5.1: A schematic representation of a quantum spin chain coupled to two reservoirs with different temperatures. 5.1 Lindblad Master equation Controlling and rectifying heat flow in quantum/classical lattices The evolution of the System is given in terms of a time-independent generator of infinitesimal time translations, (d/dt)ρ = ˆL(ρ) (5.1) Thermo-electric, thermo-magnetic, or thermo-chemical heat engines, and optimizing their efficiency from dynamical systems perspective where the generator ˆL must obey usual requirements when applied to a density operator ρ, especially to preserve its trace and positivity. The origin of the generator ˆL is illustrated by considering the Liouville equation for the density operator R for the Universe, (d/dt)r = i[r, HU] = ˆLUR from which the state of the System itself may be obtained by tracing over all degrees of freedom in the environment, ρ = tr ER and thus ρ(t) = tr E( e t ˆLUR(0) ). From there, one can derive the generator of infinitesimal time translations assuming that the thermal bath is in a thermal equilibrium. Finally, for sufficiently large times the generator of time
