The quantum transport theory, which dates back to the time of the Landauer theory in the field of mesoscopic physics, is now expanding its power on materials science and chemistry by earning chemical accuracy and physical reality and has become a new subject of non-equilibrium quantum transport theory for charge and heat at nanoscale. This growing subject invites cross-disciplinary developments, for example, the local heating theory developed earlier was examined and applied to the self-heating problem in the field of semiconductor- and nanoelectronic-device physics. This book compiles 25 key published papers to provide readers with convenient and comprehensive access to the important results and developments in the field. The book will appeal to a wide range of readers from varied backgrounds, especially those involved in charge- and/or heat-transport problems that widely spread over various subjects in materials science, chemistry, electric engineering, and condensed matter physics.

Yoshihiro Asai is a former director of a research center at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Japan. He joined Prof. Ken-ichi Fukui's group at Kyoto University, Japan, and was awarded a PhD in 1987 in the field of quantum chemistry. He then moved as a tenured researcher to Dr. J. Kondo's group at Electrotechnical Laboratory (ETL) and started research on condensed matter physics theory, including strongly correlated electron systems, superconductivity, computational physics, and non-equilibrium transport. His research has been focused on inelastic electric currents, electron and phonon currents, local heating, and vibronic effects on current noise. Dr. Asai's work contributes to the understanding of fundamental physical processes and has practical implications for technologies such as nanoelectronics, thermoelectric devices, and quantum materials.

Marius E. Bürkle joined Yoshihiro Asai's group as a JSPS fellow and became a chief senior researcher at AIST. He joined Prof. Gerd Schön's group at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and was awarded a PhD in 2011 for his thesis on "Ab initio description of electron transport through nanoscale systems." His research is focused on nanoscale systems, particularly electron transport, as well as single-molecule charge transport and quantum interference. His work includes studies on heat dissipation and its relation to thermopower in single-molecule junctions, nanoscale orchestration, thermoelectric properties, and quantum transport.
