Energy transfer in small nano-sized systems can be very different from that in their
macroscopic counterparts due to reduced dimensionality, interaction with surfaces, disorder …

Due to its great potential applications in thermal management, heat control, and quantum

Based on the thermal hysteresis of a phase change material exchanging radiative heat with
a phase invariable one, we propose a radiative thermal memristor characterized by a …

Autonomous entanglement engines have recently been proposed to generate steady-state
bipartite and multipartite entanglement exploiting only incoherent interactions with thermal …

There has been significant interest recently in using complex quantum systems to create
effective nonreciprocal dynamics. Proposals have been put forward for the realization of …

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 …

Manipulating quantum thermal transport relies on uncovering the principle working cycles of
quantum devices. Here we introduce the cycle flux ranking of network analysis to …

We investigate the evolution of a target qubit caused by its multiple random collisions with N-
qubit clusters. Depending on the cluster state, the evolution of the target qubit may …

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 …
