Description

In open quantum systems, non-trivial transport properties are commonly achieved using inhomogeneous setups, for example, by coupling systems to different baths at their edges. Considering a two-dimensional fermionic system with broken inversion and time-reversal symmetries, we demonstrate that both spin and charge currents can also be generated via translationally invariant system-bath couplings. Both currents are found to be robust to dephasing, and their relative magnitudes can be tuned by adjusting the internal phase of the dissipator.
