Quantum states, including entangled states, are fragile and easily disturbed by excessive thermal noise. Here we address the question of whether it is possible to create non-reciprocal devices that encourage the flow of thermal noise towards or away from a particular quantum device in a network. Our work makes use of the cascaded systems formalism to answer this question in the affirmative, showing how a three-port device can be used as an effective thermal transistor, and illustrates how this formalism maps onto an experimentally-realisable optomechanical system. Our results pave the way to more resilient quantum devices and to the use of thermal noise as a resource.","lang":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"JoFi"}],"day":"04","type":"conference","date_updated":"2023-09-18T08:12:24Z","article_processing_charge":"No","month":"05","status":"public","quality_controlled":"1","title":"Routing thermal noise through quantum networks","alternative_title":["Proceedings of SPIE"],"date_created":"2018-12-11T11:44:55Z","user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","oa_version":"Preprint","oa":1,"scopus_import":"1","publisher":"SPIE","conference":{"end_date":"2018-04-26","location":"Strasbourg, France","start_date":"2018-04-22","name":"SPIE: The international society for optical engineering"},"citation":{"mla":"Xuereb, André, et al. <i>Routing Thermal Noise through Quantum Networks</i>.
