DESCRIPTION:Mihail Mintchev\nWe investigate the microscopic features of qu
 antum transport in a non-equilibrium steady state\, which breaks time reve
 rsal invariance spontaneously. The analysis is based on the probability di
 stribution\, generated by the correlation functions of the entropy product
 ion operator. The general approach is applied to exactly solvable models w
 ith a point-like interaction driving the system away from equilibrium. The
  quantum fluctuations of the entropy production are explicitly evaluated. 
 It is shown that all moments of the entropy production distribution are no
 n-negative\, which provides a microscopic version of the second law of the
 rmodynamics in a QFT setting. The impact of quantum statistics in this con
 text\, as well as some applications of the results will be also discussed.
