  We apply the Lindblad quantum master equation to two examples of
one-dimensional topological systems, the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model and
Kitaev chain, to study their particle and thermal transport. The steady-state
properties are obtained by decomposing fermions into Majorana fermions and
extracting their correlation functions. We focus on the particle and thermal
currents flowing through the bulk when the system is driven by two reservoirs
coupled to the two ends. The ratio of the currents of the SSH model from the
topological and trivial regimes with the same bandwidth demonstrates
suppression of transport due to the edge states, which couple to the reservoirs
but do not participate in transport. A similar comparison cannot be performed
for the Kitaev chain because the topological and trivial regimes have different
bandwidths, and the edge states are less significant away from the transition.
Therefore, the results contrast various topological properties in quantum
transport.
