Transport in one dimensional quantum systems

Abstract

In this Chapter, we present recent theoretical developments on the finite temperature transport of one dimensional electronic and magnetic quantum systems as described by a variety of prototype models. In particular, we discuss the unconventional transport and dynamic - spin, electrical, thermal - properties implied by the integrability of models as the spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain or Hubbard. Furthermore, we address the implication of these developments to experimental studies and theoretical descriptions by low energy effective theories.
