Quantum Control of Heat Current
arXiv:2306.15937 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.110.042216
Abstract
We investigate the local thermal transport in a quantum trimer of harmonic oscillators connected to two thermal baths. The coupling between them are augmented by complex phases which leads to the quantum control of the local atypical heat current between two oscillators connected to the same heat bath. Our study reveals that this atypical heat current is a consequence of the lifting of the dark mode and the modulation of this current is due to variation in system bath correlations. The proposed quantum system may find application in quantum thermal and memory devices by leveraging the heat current.
