Inverse Current in Coupled Transport: A Quantum Thermodynamic Model

This project is a theoretical physics research paper with a reference implementation, rather than a software product. Its defensibility is extremely low from a software perspective (1-2 range) as the value lies in the mathematical derivation published in the paper, which any domain expert can replicate. With 0 stars and 3 forks over nearly two years, it has no developer traction or ecosystem. However, from a research standpoint, it represents a 'novel combination' by applying classical ICC theory to quantum systems. Frontier labs have zero interest in this niche domain of quantum thermodynamics, making frontier risk 'low'. The primary 'competitors' are other academic research groups specializing in quantum transport (e.g., those using Keldysh formalism or Master Equation approaches). The displacement horizon is long (3+ years) only because the niche is so specialized that few people are actively trying to 'displace' this specific model; it will eventually be superseded by more general or experimentally validated quantum thermodynamic theories.
