quantum computing architectures. Controlling heat transport in superconducting circuits has thus received increasing attention in engineering microwave environments for circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) and circuit quantum thermodynamics experiments (cQTD). While theoretical proposals for cQTD devices are numerous, the experimental situation is much less advanced. There exist only relatively few experimental realisations, mostly due to the difficulties in developing the hybrid devices and in interfacing these often technologically contrasting components. Here we show a realisation of a quantum heat rectifier, a thermal equivalent to the electronic diode, utilising a superconducting transmon qubit coupled to two strongly unequal resonators terminated by mesoscopic heat baths. Our work is the experimental realisation of the spin-boson rectifier proposed by Segal and Nitzan.
