Functional integral approach to time-dependent heat exchange in open quantum systems: general method and applications
We establish the path integral approach for the time-dependent heat exchange of an externally driven quantum system coupled to a thermal reservoir. We derive the relevant influence functional and present an exact formal expression for the moment generating functional which carries all statistical pr...
