Heat transport in driven quantum systems: Comparison between the Floquet-Redfield equation and the master equation in the instantaneous eigenbasis
This study compares different methods for describing heat transport in periodically driven quantum systems using a Caldeira-Leggett model. It contrasts the exact Floquet-Redfield equation with approximations like secular and Markovian limits to show how these approximations affect results, particularly in determining steady-state heat currents.
