contents We demonstrate photonic control of radiative heat transport in nanoscale networks through phase-controlled interference between elastic and inelastic Floquet scattering channels induced by temporal permittivity modulation. Relative modulation phases select constructive or destructive interference, enabling directional thermal-photon currents and heat splitting even at thermal equilibrium. Modulation amplitude and frequency further tune the enhancement, suppression and redistribution of energy flow. This interference-based mechanism enables thermal routing and logic operations and provides a general platform for reconfigurable photonic heat management at the nanoscale.
