Quantum thermodynamics on superconducting circuits: bolometry and thermalization

Superconducting circuits combined with engineered heat baths form a basis to investigate quantum thermodynamics on a chip [1]. I will present our experimental work on monitoring the dynamics of quantum circuits bolometrically, for instance on a driven system composed of a strongly coupled qubit and a cavity [2,3]. As a second topic, I introduce ideas and preliminary experiments on thermalization in isolated quantum circuits [4-6].
