We continue to study frequency-dependent complex bulk viscosities of one-dimensional Bose and Fermi gases with contact interactions, which exhibit the weak-strong duality according to our recent work. Here we show that they are contributed to by Drude peaks divergent at zero frequency as typical for transport coefficients of quantum integrable systems in one dimension. In particular, their Drude weights are evaluated based on the Kubo formula in the high-temperature limit at arbitrary coupling as well as in the weak-coupling and strong-coupling limits at arbitrary temperature, where systematic expansions in terms of small parameters are available. In all three limits, the Drude peaks are found at higher orders compared to the finite regular parts.

The Drude weight characterizes ballistic transport in quantum many-body systems. Although analytical calculations of Drude weights have been extensively studied in integrable models, their direct connections to finite-temperature macroscopic state functions remain unestablished, especially for continuous multicomponent quantum gases. In the present work, we use generalized hydrodynamics and the thermodynamic Bethe ansätz to calculate exactly the Drude weights for one-dimensional continuous integrable systems, including the Lieb-Liniger and Bose-Fermi mixture models. We derive universal exact relations between Drude weight matrix components and key thermodynamic densities (particle density, enthalpy, entropy). Analytic expressions for Drude weight are obtained across different physical regimes, i.e. strong- and weak-coupling regimes in addition to universal scaling laws near the quantum phase transitions. To bridge theory and experiment, we simulate two experimental protocols, linear potential quench and bipartitioning quench, to enable reliable measurements of the Drude weights. Using these protocols, we calculate the charge and energy Drude weight for Lieb-Liniger gas and compare with recent measurements reported in [Science 391, 290 (2026)], showing excellent agreement with particle density and enthalpy, respectively, thus offering deeper physical insights into experimental observations. Our findings directly link ballistic transport properties to thermodynamics, providing rigorous theoretical benchmarks for future ultracold atomic gas experiments.
