For every allowed input,
In particular,
The source-to-bath current, with positive sign toward the bath, is
Its time integral is the bath energy gain. The current is not asserted to be nonnegative at every time.
Proof. The evolved one-body correlation matrix has spatial factor , multiplied by the input label correlation matrix. Summing the diagonal label entries gives .
Equation (eq:amplitudes) shows that adjacent amplitudes differ by a factor times real numbers after removing their common phase. Hence
for every . Every hopping contribution to the displayed energy expectations therefore vanishes. The onsite contributions give (eq:energy-ledger). The total energy is also conserved by the autonomous unitary.
The limit follows from . The current formula is differentiation of the source energy; its integral equals the difference of the bath energies.
