Control of heat flow is critical for thermal logic devices and thermal management and has
been explored theoretically. However, experimental progress on active control of heat flow …

Nonequilibrium effects may have a profound impact on the performance of thermal devices

We investigate ratcheting heat flow in simple networks consisting of a one-dimensional
nonlinear chain with a self-coupled loop when the average thermal bias is zero. The effects …

Quantum thermal machines can perform useful tasks, such as delivering power, cooling, or
heating. In this work, we consider hybrid thermal machines, that can execute more than one …

Our focus in this investigation lies in developing a noise model for a quantum thermal
transistor model inspired by its electronic counterpart, with the primary aim of establishing a …

We propose a minimal model of a Coulomb-coupled fermionic quantum dot thermal diode
that can act as an efficient thermal switch and exhibit complete rectification behavior, even in …

We introduce a simplified model for a three-terminal quantum thermocouple consisting of
two strongly coupled quantum dots. To elucidate spin-dependent Seebeck and Peltier …

A quantum thermal diode is designed based on three pairwise coupled qubits, two
connected to a common reservoir and the other to an independent reservoir. It is found that …

Nonequilibrium energy flows in a driven quantum system coupled to two heat baths are
investigated to describe microscopic driven-dissipative processes, based on both a …

The efficiency of a quantum heat engine is maximum when the unitary strokes of the
quantum Otto cycle are adiabatic. On the other hand, this may not be always possible due to …
