Abstract: We consider symmetric operators of the form $S:=Aotimes{I}_{mathfrakT}+I_{mathfrakH}otimesT$ where $A$ is symmetric and $T=T^{\ast }$ is (in general) unbounded. Such operators naturally arise in problems of simulating point contacts to reservoirs. We construct a boundary triplet $P{i}_S$ for $S^{\ast }$ preserving the tensor structure. The corresponding $gamma$-field and Weyl function are expressed by means of the $gamma$-field and Weyl function corresponding to the boundary triplet $P{i}_A$ for $A^{\ast }$ and the spectral measure of $T$. Applications to 1-D Schr"odinger and Dirac operators are given. A model of electron transport through a quantum dot assisted by cavity photons is proposed. In this model the boundary operator is chosen to be the well-known Jaynes-Cumming operator which is regarded as the Hamiltonian of the quantum dot.
