• Abstract: A three-terminal device, able to control the heat currents flowing through it, is known as a quantum thermal transistor whenever it amplifies two output currents as a response to the external source acting on its third terminal. Several efforts have been proposed in the direction of addressing different engineering options of the configuration of the system. Here, we adhere to the scheme in which such a device is implemented as a three-qubit system that interacts with three separate thermal baths. However, another interesting direction is how to engineer the thermal reservoirs to magnify the current amplification. Here, we derive a quantum dynamical equation for the evolution of the system to study the role of distinct dissipative thermal noises. We compare the amplification gain in different configurations and analyze the role of the correlations in a system exhibiting the thermal transistor effect, via measures borrowed from the quantum information theory.

  An intriguing phenomenon in non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics is the asymmetry of thermal processes. We show that the free relaxation to thermal equilibrium follows intrinsically different paths depending on whether the temperature of the system increases (heating up) or decreases (cooling down) Our theory is exemplified using the recently developed thermal kinematics based on information geometry theory.

We systematically study the steady-state thermal behaviors of the system. We find that the transverse field can induce the system to separate into two subspaces in which neither steady-state heat current vanishes.

We find thermal rectification and circulation effects not expected in configurations with perfectly-filtered couplings. Heat leakage in off-resonant transitions can be exploited to make the system work as an ideal diode where heat flows in the same direction between two baths irrespective of the sign of the temperature difference.
