• Authors: Gabriella G. Damas, Rog\'erio J. de Assis, and Norton G. de Almeida
• Abstract summary: We study an autonomous refrigerator composed of three qubits [Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 130401 (2010)] operating with one of the reservoirs at negative temperatures. We find the values of the lowest possible temperature that the qubit of interest reaches when fixing the relevant parameters, and we also study the limit for cooling the qubit arbitrarily close to absolute zero.

• Abstract: In this work, we study an autonomous refrigerator composed of three qubits [Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 130401 (2010)] operating with one of the reservoirs at negative temperatures, which has the purpose of cooling one of the qubits. We find the values of the lowest possible temperature that the qubit of interest reaches when fixing the relevant parameters, and we also study the limit for cooling the qubit arbitrarily close to absolute zero. We thus proceed to a comparative study showing that reservoirs at effective negative temperatures are more powerful than those at positive temperatures for cooling the qubit of interest.

• Dynamic Cooling on Contemporary Quantum Computers [0.0]
  We study the problem of dynamic cooling whereby a target qubit is cooled at the expense of heating up $N-1$ further identical qubits. We show that the associated work cost of cooling is exponentially more advantageous in the low temperature regime. We propose a suboptimal cooling algorithm, whereby relinquishing a small amount of cooling capability results in a drastically reduced circuit complexity.

  We show that quantum absorption refrigerators can be constructed by using three qubits and two thermal baths. One of the qubits attached to the common bath achieves a cooling in the steady state. The proposed refrigerator is shown to provide steady-state cooling for both Markovian qubit-bath interactions between the qubits and canonical bosonic thermal reservoirs.
