Mesoscopic photon heat transistor.
We show that the heat transport between two bodies, mediated by electromagnetic fluctuations, can be controlled with an intermediate quantum circuit--leading to the device concept of a mesoscopic photon heat transistor (MPHT). Our theoretical analysis is based on a novel Meir-Wingreen-Landauer-type of conductance formula, which gives the photonic heat current through an arbitrary circuit elemen...
متن کاملHeat transport in mesoscopic systems
Phonon heat transport in mesoscopic systems is investigated using methods analogous to the Landauer description of electrical conductance. A “universal heat conductance” expression that depends on the properties of the conducting pathway only through the mode cutoff frequencies is derived. Corrections due to reflections at the junction between the thermal body and the conducting bridge are foun...
متن کاملSingle-photon transistor using a Förster resonance.
An all-optical transistor is a device in which a gate light pulse switches the transmission of a target light pulse with a gain above unity. The gain quantifies the change of the transmitted target photon number per incoming gate photon. We study the quantum limit of one incoming gate photon and observe a gain of 20. The gate pulse is stored as a Rydberg excitation in an ultracold gas. The tran...
متن کاملSpecific heat measurements of mesoscopic loops
We report highly sensitive specific heat measurement on mesoscopic superconducting loops at low temperature. These mesoscopic systems exhibit thermal properties significantly different from that of the bulk materials. The measurement is performed on a silicon membrane sensor where 450 000 superconducting aluminium loops are deposited through electron beam lithography under an applied magnetic f...
متن کاملThe Mesoscopic Nature of Quantum Dots in Photon Emission
Semiconductor quantum dots share many properties with atoms such as discrete spectrum, which implies the ability to emit high purity single photons. However, they have unique features as well that are unknown to other emitters: they embody tens of thousands of atoms attaining large mesoscopic sizes, and lack the common atomic symmetries. Here we discuss two effects that are mediated by the meso...
