We consider two quantum Ising chains initially prepared at thermal equilibrium but with different temperatures and coupled at a given time through one of their end points. In the long-time limit the system reaches a nonequilibrium steady state. We discuss properties of this nonequilibrium steady state and characterize the convergence to the steady regime. We compute the mean energy flux through the chain and show that the heat transport is ballistic. We derive also the large-deviation function for the quantum and thermal fluctuations of this energy transfer.
