Quantum Thermal Rectification to design thermal diodes and transistors
Abstract
We study in this article how heat can be exchanged between two level systems (TLS) each of them being coupled to a thermal reservoir. Calculation are performed solving a master equation for the density matrix using the Born markov-approximation. We analyse the conditions for which a thermal diode and a thermal transistor can be obtained as well as their optimization.
