Abstract 2D materials are a family of layered materials exhibiting rich exotic phenomena,
such as valley‐contrasting physics. Down to single‐particle level, unraveling fundamental …

Josephson junctions are a central element in superconducting quantum technology; in these
devices, irreversibility arises from abrupt slips of the quantum phase difference across the …

In nanoscale systems coupled to finite-size reservoirs, the reservoir temperature may
fluctuate due to heat exchange between the system and the reservoirs. To date, a stochastic …

In this Perspective, we discuss thermal imbalance and the associated electron-mediated
thermal transport in quantum electronic devices at very low temperatures. We first present …

Navigating the intricacies of thermal management at the quantum scale is a challenge in the
pursuit of advanced nanoscale technologies. To this extent, theoretical frameworks …

We review one of the most versatile theoretical approaches to the study of time-dependent
correlated quantum transport in nano-systems: the non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) …

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 …

Heat is detrimental for the operation of quantum systems, yet it fundamentally behaves
according to quantum mechanics, being phase coherent and universally quantum-limited …

Including the phonon-assisted inelastic process in thermoelectric devices makes it possible
to enhance the performance of nonequilibrium work extraction. In this work, we demonstrate …
