- Abstract: In this paper, we design a quantum heat exchanger which converts heat into
light on relatively short quantum optical time scales. Our scheme takes
advantage of heat transfer as well as collective cavity-mediated laser cooling
of an atomic gas inside a cavitating bubble. Laser cooling routinely transfers
individually trapped ions to nano-Kelvin temperatures for applications in
quantum technology. The quantum heat exchanger which we propose here might be
able to provide cooling rates of the order of Kelvin temperatures per
millisecond and is expected to find applications in micro and nanotechnology.

We demonstrate a novel quantum thermal machine that leverages noise-assisted quantum transport to fuel a cooling engine in steady state.
The device exploits symmetry-selective couplings between a superconducting artificial molecule and two microwave waveguides.
By varying the relative temperatures of the reservoirs, and measuring heat currents with a resolution below 1 aW, we demonstrate that the device can be operated as a quantum heat engine, thermal accelerator, and refrigerator.

coherent control of a two-level system is among the most essential challenges in modern quantum optics.
We use a mechanically isolated quantum emitter in hexagonal boron nitride to explore the individual mechanisms which affect the coherence of an optical transition under resonant drive.
New insights on the underlying physical decoherence mechanisms reveals a limit in temperature until which coherent driving of the system is possible.
