resonators to realize a heat valve by modulating magnetic flux using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). It is shown that a heat valve can be realized in a wide parameter range. We find a consistent relation between the heat current and quantum entanglement, which indicates the dominant role of entanglement on the heat valve. It provides an insightful understanding of quantum features in quantum heat machines.
