We present an overview of recent advances in the study of energy dynamics and
mechanisms for energy conversion in qubit systems with special focus on realizations in …

In this Colloquium recent advances in the field of quantum heat transport are reviewed. This
topic has been investigated theoretically for several decades, but only during the past 20 …

We discuss whether, and under which conditions, it is possible to realize a heat engine
simply by dynamically modulating the couplings between the quantum working medium and …

Describing the thermodynamic properties of quantum systems far from equilibrium is
challenging, in particular when the system is strongly coupled to its environment, or when …

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 …

We investigate heat rectification in a two-qubit system coupled via the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya
(DM) interaction. We derive analytical expressions for heat currents and thermal rectification …

We present a unified approach to study continuous measurement-based quantum thermal
machines in static as well as adiabatically driven systems. We investigate both steady-state …

We investigate the heat transport properties of a three-level system coupled to three thermal
baths, assuming a model based on superconducting circuit implementations. The system …

We theoretically investigate a quantum heat diode based on two interacting flux qubits
coupled to two heat baths. Rectification of heat currents is achieved by asymmetrically …

A physical system connected to two thermal reservoirs at different temperatures is said to act
as a heat rectifier when it is able to bias the heat current in a given direction, similarly to an …
