Abstract: We will discuss a general non-equilibrium setup by which one can approach the quantum transport problem in one dimension. One considers a strongly interacting quantum chain with fully coherent bulk dynamics and driven out of equilibrium in terms of Lindblad dissipators which only act on degrees of freedom near the boundary, i.e. at the ends of the chain. Non-equilibrium state carrying the physical currents is then approximated as the steady state of the corresponding Markovian master equation. I will present results which have recently been obtained along these lines. Firstly, using numerical methods inspired by the density matrix renormalization group, one can - quite remarkably - find examples of diffusive transport in clean, and even Bethe-ansatz integrable, strongly interacting systems. Secondly, under far from equilibrium conditions, one can find several exact analytical solutions which describe steady states with anomalous transport properties.
