The quantitative measurement of the quantum-limited heat flow for Fermi particles across a single electronic channel is reported on, using noise thermometry, and demonstrated agreement with the predicted GQ establishes experimentally this basic building block of quantum thermal transport.Abstract:
Quantum physics predicts that there is a fundamental maximum heat conductance across a single transport channel, and that this thermal conductance quantum GQ is universal, independent of the type of particles carrying the heat. Such universality, combined with the relationship between heat and information, signals a general limit on information transfer. We report on the quantitative measurement of the quantum limited heat flow for Fermi particles across a single electronic channel, using noise thermometry. The demonstrated agreement with the predicted GQ establishes experimentally this basic building block of quantum thermal transport. The achieved accuracy of below 10% opens access to many experiments involving the quantum manipulation of heat.read more

TL;DR: In this article, a superconducting circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED) subsystem with a thermal reservoir of appropriate Hilbert dimensionality is investigated, showing that the reservoir-to-reservoir heat flux depends on the interplay between the qubit and the resonator-resonator couplings, yielding qualitatively dissimilar results in different coupling regimes.
