A primer on heat rectification

The aim of this journal club talk will be the discussion of a topic that is getting more attention in the quantum thermodynamics community. In fact, numerous efforts, both theoretically and experimentally, are devoted to design technologies able to control and to route the heat flow in qubit systems suitable for the realization of quantum circuits.
In particular, the purpose is to discuss the experimental implementation with superconducting qubits in J. Senior at al., arXiv:1908.05574.
