Minimal two-body quantum absorption refrigerator
Bibek Bhandari, Andrew N. Jordan
We study the phenomenon of absorption refrigeration, where refrigeration is achieved by heating instead of work, in two different setups: a minimal set up based on coupled qubits,…

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…
