随着对微纳尺度系统的深入理解和实验技术的进步, 发生在这些小系统中的热输运和能量转换近期吸引了大量研究. 不同于依赖静态热力学力(如温差、电势差等)的非平衡稳态调控手段, 受时间驱动的非平衡非稳态小系统具有特有的高可调性和普遍性, 其研究同时具有基础价值和应用潜力. 本文从几何这一基本概念出发, 分析了热力学几何相(曲率)和热力学距离这两个关键物理量, 以几何的视角展现和分析近期关于受驱动非平衡量子系统中输运调控和能量转换途径的热力学研究. 热力学几何不仅可以看作是这一大类系统中非平凡输运和耗散的本质起源, 也同样给我们提供了一种理论框架, 给出对于系统输运和能量转换的限制, 同时也可以给出慢驱动条件下量子热机性能的通用优化方式. 这将在未来帮助理解非平衡量子多体系统所发挥的能量输运/转换功能, 也会为发现高性能(高效率、高功率、高可靠性)量子热机提供新的设计思路.With the in-depth understanding of nano-/micro-scaled systems and the developing of the corresponding experimental techniques, the heat transport and energy conversion processes in these small systems have attracted much interest recently. In contrast to the static manipulation methods, which hinge on the steady nonequilibrium sources such as temperature bias, chemical potential difference, etc., the temporal driving methods can control small systems in nonequilibrium non-steady states with much more versatility and universality. The research on periodically driven small systems holds both fundamental and pragmatic promises. This review is based on the fundamental concept of geometry. By analyzing the geometric phase and thermodynamic length in the transport process and the energy conversion process, we provide a unified perspective for the recent researches on the thermodynamic properties of driven nonequilibrium quantum systems. Thermodynamic geometry not only is the intrinsic origin of the nontrivial transport and dissipation, but also provides us with an all-applicable theoretical framework. The discussion over the geometry would yield multiple thermodynamic constraints on the transport and energy conversion, and can naturally construct a general optimization method as well. This will conduce to a better understanding of functionality for nonequilibrium quantum many-body systems acting as thermal machines. Also, this will inspire people to design quantum thermal machines with simultaneously more ideal performance, i.e. higher efficiency, higher power and higher constancy.

A scheme of periodically driven nonequilibrium quantum transport and its geometry. (a) A diagrammatic nonequilibrium quantum system. The middle quantum system is illustrated by a multi-level system, which is coupled with several thermal reservoirs. The temperature of reservoirs (
$ {T}_{\mathrm{h}} $ and$ {T}_{\mathrm{c}} $ ) and the mechanical parameter of the system ($ \lambda $ ) are simultaneously and periodically modulated. The heat exchange ($ {Q}_{\mathrm{h}} $ and$ {Q}_{\mathrm{c}} $ ) and work output$(W)$ are thus generated. (b) The geometry of this nonequilibrium quantum system in the space of parameters$(\boldsymbol{\varLambda }\equiv $ $ \left(T, \lambda \right) )$ . The curvilinear coordinate is adopted to show the inhomogeneous thermodynamic distance and the local vectors are for the geometric connection, as derived in the main text. Geometrically, the geometric connection is the holonomy angle during an infinitesimal parallel transport and the thermodynamic distance between neighboring points defines a Riemannian space with endowed metric.
