Abstract

We propose a model of nonequilibrium quantum transport of particles and energy in a system connected
to mesoscopic Fermi reservoirs (mesoreservoir). The mesoreservoirs are in turn thermalized to prescribed
temperatures and chemical potentials by a simple dissipative mechanism described by the Lindblad equation.
As an example, we study transport in monoatomic and diatomic chains of noninteracting spinless fermions. We
show numerically the breakdown of the Onsager reciprocity relation due to the dissipative terms of the model.
