Effect of temperature gradient on quantum transport

Abstract

The recently introduced multisite tensor network path integral (MS-TNPI) method [Bose and Walters, J. Chem. Phys., 2022, 156, 24101] for simulating quantum dynamics of extended systems has been shown to be effective in studying one-dimensional systems coupled with local baths. Quantum transport in these systems is typically studied at a constant temperature. However, temperature seems to be a very obvious parameter that can be spatially changed to control this transport. Here, MS-TNPI is used to study the “non-equilibrium” effects of an externally imposed temperature profile on the excitonic transport in one-dimensional Frenkel chains coupled with local vibrations. We show that in addition to being important for incorporating heating effects of excitation by lasers, temperature can also be an interesting parameter for quantum control.
