Sisyphus cooling and amplification by a superconducting qubit

A superconducting qubit—a mesoscopic structure that behaves like a quantum two-level system—has been used to change the temperature of a resonant circuit, in close analogy to the so-called Sisyphus cooling and amplification protocols used in laser cooling of atoms.
