Figure 12

Dynamics of the thermal rectification factor \(\Re\) as a function of the dimensionless quantity Jt for different values of \(\Delta T\) by setting \(\kappa =0.05J\), \(B_0=0.6J\), \(\Delta =0.5 J\) and \(T_M=2J\). Here, the initial state of qubits is \(|\Phi _1\rangle =|00\rangle\) and the Lamb-shift term is not included. Panels (a) and (b) correspond to the symmetric coupling setting \((\varepsilon =0)\) and asymmetric coupling setting \((\varepsilon =1)\), respectively.
