Quantum typicality approach to energy flow between two spin-chain domains at different temperatures — Laurenz Beckemeyer1, •Markus Kraft1, Mariel Kempa1, Dirk Schuricht2, and Robin Steinigeweg1 — 1University of Osnabrück, Department of Mathematics/Computer Science/Physics,D-49076 Osnabrück, Germany — 2Institute for Theoretical Physics, Utrecht University, 3584CC Utrecht, The Netherlands
We discuss a quantum typicality approach to examine systems composed of two subsystems at different temperatures. While dynamical quantum typicality is usually used to simulate high-temperature dynamics, we also investigate low-temperature dynamics using the method. To test our method, we investigate the energy current between subsystems at different temperatures in various paradigmatic spin-1/2 chains, specifically the XX chain, the critical transverse-field Ising chain, and the XXZ chain. We compare our numerics to existing analytical results and find a convincing agreement for the energy current in the steady state for all considered models and temperatures.
