Abstract
We study a model of noninteracting spinless fermions coupled to local dephasing and boundary drive and described within a Lindblad master equation. The model features an interplay between infinite temperature thermalization due to bulk dephasing and a nonequilibrium stationary state due to the boundary drive and dissipation. We revisit the linear and nonlinear transport properties of the model, featuring a crossover from ballistic to diffusive scaling, and compute the spectral and occupation properties encoded in the single-particle Green's functions, that we compute exactly using the Lindblad equations of motion in spite of the interacting nature of the dephasing term. We show that the distribution function in the bulk of the system becomes frequency independent and flat, consistent with infinite temperature thermalization, while near the boundaries it retains strong nonequilibrium features that reflect the continuous injection and depletion of particles due to driving and dissipation.
