In this study, we investigate thermal transport in-dimensional quantum harmonic lattices coupled to self-consistent reservoirs. The-dimensional system is treated as a set of Klein-Gordon chains by exploiting an orthogonal transformation. For generality, the self-energy that describes the reservoir-system coupling is assumed to be a power function of energy Σ∝−iɛn, whereis limited to odd integers because of the reality condition. Total momentum conservation is violated forbut otherwise preserved. In this approach, we show that for, thermal conductivity remains finite in the thermodynamic limit and normal transport takes place for an arbitrary value of. For, however, thermal conductivity diverges and thermal transport becomes anomalous as long as, whereas normal transport is recovered when. These criteria derived for quantum-mechanical lattices imply that normal transport emerges in high enough dimensions despite total momentum conservation and reinforce the prevailing conjecture deduced in the classical limit.
