| contents | We use a transmon qubit and its dispersively coupled readout resonator to measure the Fock state populations of another microwave resonator, to which we have attached a quantum-circuit refrigerator (QCR). First, we apply noise generated at room temperature to the resonator and show that such noise drive leads to a thermal distribution of the resonator Fock states. Subsequently, we detune the noise frequency band far away from the resonance condition and vary the power of the noise applied on the QCR. We observe that such artificial thermal noise may lead to major damping of a coherent state of the resonator. Importantly, we also demonstrate that the effective temperature of a thermal resonator state can be reduced from roughly 300 mK to 130 mK by the introduction of the artificial thermal noise. These observations pave the way for a purely thermally powered quantum-circuit refrigerator which may unlock the use of waste heat in resetting superconducting qubits in a quantum processor and in building autonomous quantum heat engines. |
