Description
I present some recent experiments of detecting either extremely small heat currents or single quanta in the microwave regime using a nanocalorimeter. In these experiments systems are, in the first case in non-equilibrium steady state, and in the second case subject to stochastic time-local heat pulses. I will discuss the theoretical background of these experiments, their ultimate resolution, and the grand challenges in future work.
