Heat flux exchanged between two hot bodies at subwavelength separation distances can exceed the limit predicted by the blackbody theory. However this super-Planckian transfer is restricted to these separation distances. Here we demonstrate the possible existence of a super-Planckian transfer at arbitrary large separation distances if the interacting bodies are connected in near-field with weakly dissipating hyperbolic waveguides. This result opens the way to long distance transport of near-field thermal energy.

Radiative heat-transport mediated by near-field interactions is known to be superdiffusive in dilute, many-body systems. In this Letter we use a generalized Landauer theory of radiative heat transfer in many-body planar systems to demonstrate a nonmo notonic transition from superdiffusive to ballistic transport in dense systems. We show that such a transition is associated to a change of the polarization of dominant modes, leading to dramatically different thermal relaxation dynamics spanning over three orders of magnitude. This result could have important consequences on thermal management at nanoscale of many-body systems.
Near-field radiative heat transfer (RHT) between two bodies can significantly exceed the far-field limit set by Plancks law due to the evanescent wave tunneling, which typically can only occur when the two bodies are separated at subwavelength distan ces. We show that the RHT between two SiC nanoparticles with separation distances much larger than the thermal wavelength can still exceed the far-field limit when the particles are located within a subwavelength distance away from a SiC substrate. In this configuration, the localized surface phonon polariton (SPhP) of the particles couples to the propagating SPhP of the substrate which then provides a new channel for the near-field energy transport and enhances the RHT by orders of magnitude at large distances. The enhancement is also demonstrated to appear in a chain of closely spaced SiC nanoparticles located in the near field of a SiC substrate. The findings provide a new way for the long-distance transport of near-field energy.
We study a one-dimensional model of radiative heat transfer for which the effect of the electromag- netic field is only from the scalar potential and thereby ignoring the vector potential contribution. This is a valid assumption when the distances be tween objects are of the order of nanometers. Using Lorenz gauge, the scalar field is quantized with the canonical quantization scheme, giving rise to scalar photons. In the limit as the speed of light approaches infinity, the theory reduces to a pure Coulomb interaction governed by the Poisson equation. The model describes very well parallel plate capacitor physics, where a new length scale related to its capacitance emerges. Shorter than this length scale we see greater radiative heat transfer. This differs markedly from the usual Rytov fluctuational electrodynamics theory in which the enhancement is due to evanescent modes shorter than the thermal wavelengths. Our theory may explain recent experiments where charge fluctuations instead of current fluctuations play a dominant role in radiative heat transfer. Finally, due to the asymmetric electron-bath couplings, thermal rectification effects are also observed and reported.
Antiferromagnetic insulators (AFMI) are robust against stray fields, and their intrinsic dynamics could enable ultrafast magneto-optics and ultrascaled magnetic information processing. Low dissipation, long distance spin transport and electrical mani pulation of antiferromagnetic order are much sought-after goals of spintronics research. Here, we report the first experimental evidence of robust long-distance spin transport through an AFMI, in our case the gate-controlled, canted antiferromagnetic (CAF) state that appears at the charge neutrality point of graphene in the presence of an external magnetic field. Utilizing gate-controlled quantum Hall (QH) edge states as spin-dependent injectors and detectors, we observe large, non-local electrical signals across a 5 micron-long, insulating channel only when it is biased into the nu=0 CAF state. Among possible transport mechanisms, spin superfluidity in an antiferromagnetic state gives the most consistent interpretation of the non-local signals dependence on magnetic field, temperature and filling factors. This work also demonstrates that graphene in the QH regime is a powerful model system for fundamental studies of antiferromagnetic, and in the case of a large in-plane field, ferromagnetic spintronics.
Quantum networks provide a prominent platform for realizing quantum information processing and quantum communication, with entanglement being a key resource in such applications. Here, we describe the dissipative transport protocol for entangled stat es, where entanglement stored in the first node of quantum network can be transported with high fidelity to the second node via a 1D chiral waveguide. In particular, we exploit the directional asymmetry in chirally-coupled single-mode ring resonators to transport entangled states. For the fully chiral waveguide, Bell states, multipartite $W$-states and and Dicke states can be transported with fidelity as high as $0.954$, despite the fact that the communication channel is noisy. Our proposal can be utilized for long-distance distribution of multipartite entangled states between the quantum nodes of the open quantum network.
