We apply periodic control to realize a quantum thermal transistor, which we term as the Floquet quantum thermal transistor. Periodic modulation allows us to control the heat flows and achieve large amplification factors even for fixed bath temperatures. Importantly, this transistor effect persists in the cutoff region, where traditional quantum thermal transistors operating in the absence of periodic modulation, fail to act as viable heat modulation devices.
我们应用周期性控制来实现一种量子热晶体管,我们将其称为弗洛凯量子热晶体管。周期性调制使我们能够控制热流,即使在固定的热库温度下也能实现大的放大因子。重要的是,这种晶体管效应在截止区域仍然存在,而在没有周期性调制的情况下运行的传统量子热晶体管在该区域无法作为可行的热调制器件。
