This lecture by the instructor covers charge and heat quantum transport in thermal machines, focusing on quantum dynamics, master equations, and mesoscopic physics. Theoretical tools such as the semi-classical approach, Hamiltonian approaches, and the scattering-matrix approach are discussed, along with the formalism of the scattering-matrix approach and its application in thermoelectricity. References to key books and review articles in the field are provided.
