Abstract

Quantum heat transfer through a generic superconducting setup consisting of a tunable transmon qubit placed between resonators that are terminated by thermal reservoirs is explored. Two types of architectures are considered: a sequential setting and a beam-splitter setting. Applying the numerical exact hierarchical equation of motion (HEOM) approach, steady-state properties are revealed, and experimentally relevant parameter sets are identified. Benchmark results are compared with predictions based on approximate treatments to demonstrate their failure in broad ranges of parameter space. These findings may allow improved future designs for heat control in superconducting devices.
