Description
I start by describing how heat currents can be measured in
electrical circuits in a low temperature environment. Then I
move to two current experiments. The first one is on
electronic heat transport through a single-electron
transistor, where Wiedemann-Franz law is not obeyed due to
Coulomb interaction and quantum processes. The second
experiment is on photonic heat transport through a
superconducting qubit, where the system acts as an open
quantum system with either the qubit-resonator or the
resonator-bath coupling acting as the weak coupling.
