Electron-phonon interactions play a key role in many branches of solid-state physics. Here, our focus is on the transport properties of one-dimensional systems, and we apply efficient real-time matrix-product state methods to compute the optical and thermal conductivities of Holstein chains at finite temperatures and filling. We validate our approach by comparison with analytical results applicable to single polarons valid in the small polaron limit. Our work provides a systematic study of contributions to the thermal conductivity at finite frequencies and elucidates differences in the spectrum compared to the optical conductivity, covering both the Luttinger-liquid and charge-density-wave regimes. Finally, we demonstrate that our approach is capable of extracting the DC conductivities as well. Beyond this first application, several future extensions seem feasible, such as, the inclusion of dispersive phonons, different types of local electron-phonon coupling, and a systematic study of drag effects in this electron-phonon coupled system.
