Thermal rectification through a nonlinear quantum resonator
Bibek Bhandari, Paolo Andrea Erdman, Rosario Fazio +2
We present a comprehensive and systematic study of thermal rectification in a prototypical low-dimensional quantum system -- a non-linear resonator: we identify necessary condition…
Maximum power heat engines and refrigerators in the fast-driving regime
Vasco Cavina, Paolo A. Erdman, Paolo Abiuso +2
We study the optimization of the performance of arbitrary periodically driven thermal machines. Within the assumption of fast modulation of the driving parameters, we derive the op…
Fast and accurate Cooper pair pump
Paolo Andrea Erdman, Fabio Taddei, Joonas T. Peltonen +2
We propose a method to perform accurate and fast charge pumping in superconducting nanocircuits. Combining topological properties and quantum control techniques based on shortcuts…
Thermoelectric conversion at 30K in InAs/InP nanowire quantum dots
Domenic Prete, Paolo Andrea Erdman, Valeria Demontis +7
We demonstrate high-temperature thermoelectric conversion in InAs/InP nanowire quantum dots by taking advantage of their strong electronic confinement. The electrical conductance G…
Non-Linear Thermovoltage in a Single-Electron Transistor
Paolo A. Erdman, Joonas T. Peltonen, Bibek Bhandari +5
We perform direct thermovoltage measurements in a single-electron transistor, using on-chip local thermometers, both in the linear and non-linear regimes. Using a model which accou…
Maximum power and corresponding efficiency for two-level heat engines and refrigerators: optimality of fast cycles
Paolo Andrea Erdman, Vasco Cavina, Rosario Fazio +2
We study how to achieve the ultimate power in the simplest, yet non trivial, model of a thermal machine, namely a two-level quantum system coupled to two thermal baths. Without mak…
