text: There is currently significant interest in operating devices in the quantum
regime, where their behaviour cannot be explained through classical mechanics.
Quantum states, including entangled states, are fragile and easily disturbed by
excessive thermal noise. Here we address the question of whether it is possible
to create non-reciprocal devices that encourage the flow of thermal noise towards
or away from a particular quantum device in a network. Our work makes use of the
cascaded systems formalism to answer this question in the affirmative, showing
how a three-port device can be used as an effective thermal transistor, and illustrates
how this formalism maps onto an experimentally-realisable optomechanical system.
Our results pave the way to more resilient quantum devices and to the use of thermal
noise as a resource.
