Abstract

Classical and quantum electronic circuits provide ideal platforms to investigate
stochastic thermodynamics, and they have served as a stepping stone to
realize Maxwell’s Demons with highly controllable protocols. In this article,
we first review the central thermal phenomena in quantum nanostructures.
Thermometry and basic refrigeration methods are described as enabling
tools for thermodynamics experiments. Next, we discuss the role of information
in thermodynamics that leads to the concept of Maxwell’s Demon.
Various Maxwell’s Demons realized in single-electron circuits over the past
couple of years are described. Currently, true quantum thermodynamics in
superconducting circuits is a focus of attention, and we end the review by
discussing the ideas and first experiments in this exciting area of research.
