Mechanical resonators based on a single carbon nanotube are exceptional sensors of mass
and force. The force sensitivity in these ultralight resonators is often limited by the noise in …

Nanomechanical resonators are used with great success to couple mechanical motion to
other degrees of freedom, such as photons, spins and electrons,. The motion of a …

To exploit the full potential of chips for quantum technologies, it is worth considering all
possible opportunities offered by the solid state. The aspect covered in this article is the use …

We demonstrate the possibility to reduce the heating of nanoelectronic systems in
nonequilibrium situations by increasing the temperature of the environment. Such cooling by …

A complex quantum dot circuit based on a clean and suspended carbon nanotube
embedded in a circuit quantum electrodynamic (cQED) architecture is a very attractive …

We study a single-level quantum dot strongly coupled to a superconducting lead and tunnel
coupled to a normal electrode which can exchange energy with a single-mode resonator …

We study a generalized coupling system between a superconducting qubit and two
nanomechanical resonators. When the eigenfrequency of the superconducting qubit is twice …

We propose a hybrid optomechanical system to achieve the ground state cooling of

We investigate quantum heat transfer in a nonequilibrium qubit-phonon hybrid open system,
dissipated by external bosonic thermal reservoirs. By applying coherent phonon states …
