• Abstract: Abstract Reservoir engineering is an important tool for quantum information science and quantum thermodynamics since it allows for preparing and/or protecting special quantum states of single or multipartite systems or to investigate fundamental questions of the thermodynamics as quantum thermal machines and their efficiencies. Here we employ this technique to engineer reservoirs with arbitrary (effective) negative and positive temperatures for a single spin system. To this end, we firstly engineer an appropriate interaction between a qubit system, a carbon nuclear spin, to a fermionic reservoir, in our case a large number of hydrogen nuclear spins that acts as the spins bath. This carbon-hydrogen structure is present in a polycrystalline adamantane, which was used in our experimental setup. The required interaction engineering is achieved by applying a specific sequence of radio-frequency pulses using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), while the temperature of the bath can be controlled by appropriate preparation of the initial hydrogen nuclear spin state, being the predicted results in very good agreement with the experimental data. As an application we implemented a single qubit quantum thermal machine which operates at a single reservoir at effective negative temperature whose efficiency is always 100%, independent of the unitary transformation performed on the qubit system, as long as it changes the qubit state.
