Heat rectification through single and coupled quantum dots
Ludovico Tesser, Bibek Bhandari, Paolo Andrea Erdman +3
We study heat rectification through quantum dots in the Coulomb blockade regime using a master equation approach. We consider both cases of two-terminal and four-terminal devices.…
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…
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…
Direct measurement of the Seebeck coefficient in a Kondo-correlated single-quantum-dot transistor
B. Dutta, D. Majidi, A. Garcia Corral +5
We report on the first measurement of the Seebeck coefficient in a tunnel-contacted and gate-tunable individual single-quantum dot junction in the Kondo regime, fabricated using th…
Absorption refrigerators based on Coulomb-coupled single-electron systems
Paolo Andrea Erdman, Bibek Bhandari, Rosario Fazio +2
We analyze a simple implementation of an absorption refrigerator, a system that requires heat and not work to achieve refrigeration, based on two Coulomb coupled single-electron sy…
Thermal drag in electronic conductors
Bibek Bhandari, Giuliano Chiriacò, Paolo A. Erdman +2
We study the electronic thermal drag in two different Coulomb-coupled systems, the first one composed of two Coulomb blockaded metallic islands and the second one consisting of two…
Thermoelectric properties of an interacting quantum dot-based heat engine
Paolo Andrea Erdman, Francesco Mazza, Riccardo Bosisio +3
We study the thermoelectric properties and heat-to-work conversion performance of an interacting, multi-level quantum dot (QD) weakly coupled to electronic reservoirs. We focus on…
