Energy Transport in Randomly Coupled Quantum Systems: A Perturbative Approach (opens in new tab)

We study energy transport between two quantum systems coupled through a random interaction. The central feature of our approach is to model the coupling as a Gaussian random matrix, which enables a simple and systematic perturbative expansion. In the large-$N$ limit, we derive explicit expressions for the energy transfer rate and heat conductance up to second order in the coupling strength. Using spectral methods and diagrammatic expansions, we ...
