库珀对分裂冷却

Cooling by Cooper pair splitting

Rafael Sánchez, Pablo Burset, Alfredo Levy Yeyati

摘要:

在超导体中形成库珀对的电子可以通过耦合到超导体和独立的正常引线的量子点在空间上分离,从而保持它们的自旋纠缠。我们调查这样的库珀对分裂器的热电性能,并证明了冷却的水库是一个指示的非本地相关诱导的纠缠电子对。此外,我们表明,该设备可以作为一个非本地的热电热机。作为制冷机和热机,库珀对分流器达到接近热力学边界的效率。因此,我们的工作介绍了一个实验上可访问的热机和制冷机驱动的纠缠电子对中的量子关联的作用可以测试。

英文摘要:

The electrons forming a Cooper pair in a superconductor can be spatially separated preserving their spin entanglement by means of quantum dots coupled to both the superconductor and independent normal leads. We investigate the thermoelectric properties of such a Cooper pair splitter and demonstrate that cooling of a reservoir is an indication of non-local correlations induced by the entangled electron pairs. Moreover, we show that the device can be operated as a non-local thermoelectric heat engine. Both as a refrigerator and as a heat engine, the Cooper pair splitter reaches efficiencies close to the thermodynamic bounds. As such, our work introduces an experimentally accessible heat engine and a refrigerator driven by entangled electron pairs in which the role of quantum correlations can be tested.
