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...

Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

Neuromorphic systems are circuit interconnects designed to emulate the neural processing of a biological brain. Artificial synapses can be reproduced by controlling emergent complex phenomena observed in a distinctive class of self-assembly (network) materials exhibiting memristive behaviour in their contact points. Such memristive interfaces work as smart resistive switches whose resistance...

The non-equilibrium dynamics of closed non-disordered quantum systems can be significantly affected by the presence of constraints. While equilibration generally takes place in these systems, it is often severely slowed down by a separation of timescales leading to pronounced metastability. Considering the triangular lattice quantum dimer model, we report on the existence of several relaxing...
