• Abstract: Unveiling the impact in thermodynamics of the phenomena specific to quantum mechanics is a crucial step to identify fundamental costs for quantum operations and quantum advantages in heat engines. We propose a two-reservoir setup to detect the quantum component in the heat flow exchanged by a coherently driven atom with its thermal environment. Tuning the driving parameters switches on and off the quantum and classical contributions to the heat flows, enabling their independent characterization. We demonstrate the feasibility of the measurement in a circuit-QED setup. Our results pave the road towards the first experimental verification of this quantum thermodynamic signature ubiquitous in quantum technologies.

• Heat as a witness of quantum properties [0.0]
  We present a new approach for witnessing quantum resources, including entanglement and coherence, based on heat generation. Inspired by the concept of Maxwell's demon, we analyze the heat exchange between a quantum system and a thermal environment. We find that quantum states can reveal their non-classical signatures via energy exchange with a thermal environment.
