abstract = {We study the effect of an applied magnetic field on the nonequilibrium transport properties of a
general cubic quantum network described by a tight-binding Hamiltonian with specially designed
couplings to the leads that preserve open-system symmetries. We demonstrate that the symmetry
of open systems can be manipulated by the direction of the magnetic field. Starting with all the
symmetries preserved in absence of a field, the anisotropic and isotropic fields systematically break
the symmetries, influencing all nonequilibrium properties. For simple cubic systems, we are able
to identify the steady states that comprise of pure states, bath-dependent states (nonequilibrium
steady states), and also nonphysical states. As an application, we show numerically for large cubic
networks that the symmetry breaking can control nonequilibrium currents and that different
environmental interactions can lead to novel features which can be engineered in artificial
super-lattices and cold atoms.},
