| Popis: | The amount of heat an integer quantum Hall edge state can carry in equilibrium is quantized in universal units of the heat flux quantum $J_q= \frac{\pi k_B^2}{12 \hbar}T^2$ per edge state. We adress the question of how heat transport in realistic one dimensional devices can differ from the usual chiral Luttinger liquid theory. We show that a local measurement can reveal a nonquantized amount of heat carried by the edge states, despite a globally equilibrium situation. More specifically, we report a heat enhancement effect in edge states interacting with ohmic reservoirs in the presence of nonlocal interactions or chirality breaking diffusive currents. In contrast to a nonequilibrium, nonlinear drag effect, we report an equilibrium, linear phenomenon. The chirality of the edge states creates additional correlations between the reservoirs, reflected in a higher than quantum heat flux in the chiral channel. We show that for different types of coupling the enhancement can be understood as static or dynamical backaction of the reservoirs on the chiral channel. We show that our results qualitatively hold by replacing the dissipative ohmic reservoirs by an energy conserving mesoscopic capacitor and consider the respective transmission lines for different types of interaction. Comment: v3 We improved the readability, notation and corrected minor mistakes |
