Experiments on the quantum of heat conductance — •Jukka Pekola1, Matthias Meschke1, Andrey Timofeev1, Wiebke Guichard2, Meri Helle1, and Mikko Möttönen1,31Low Temperature Laboratory, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland — 2Institut Neel, C.N.R.S., Grenoble, France — 3Department of Applied Physics, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland

The fundamental limit to transmit heat via a single channel is governed by the quantum of thermal conductance. This has been demonstrated in experiments on both phonons [1,2] and electrons [3]: here we present two experiments [4,5] on this phenomenon based on electromagnetic coupling (photons). In the first experiment tunable electric impedance is used to modulate the radiated heat between two resistors at different temperatures in a superconducting micro-circuit. In the second experiment we demonstrate electronic refrigeration at the quantum limit using superconductor-normal metal tunnel junctions. We discuss the limits of classical and quantum heat exchange in an electrical circuit.
