Rectification of heat currents across nonlinear quantum chains: a versatile approach beyond weak thermal contact
Within the emerging field of quantum thermodynamics the issues of heat transfer and heat rectification are basic ingredients for the understanding and design of heat engines or refrigerators at nanoscales. Here, a consistent and versatile approach for mesoscopic devices operating with continuous deg...
