Abstract

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 cut-off region, where traditional quantum thermal transistors operating in absence of periodic modulation, fail to act as viable heat modulation devices.
