• Abstract: We explore a small quantum refrigerator consisting of three qubits, each of which is kept in contact with an environment. We consider two settings: one is when there is necessarily transient cooling and the other is when both steady-state and transient coolings prevail. We show that there can be significant advantages with respect to the case of Markovian environments for both these settings, if we replace the bath attached to the cold qubit by a non-Markovian reservoir, modeled by a few quantum spins interacting with the cold qubit. We also consider refrigeration with more than one non-Markovian baths of the three-qubit refrigerating device. Curiously, a steady temperature is reached only if there are at least two Markovian environments, although there are distinct envelopes of the temperature oscillations in all cases. We compare the device connected to one or more non-Markovian reservoirs with the case of all Markovian environs, as also with two- and single-qubit self-sustained devices connected to one or more non-Markovian baths. We propose a witness to detect non-Markovianity in such systems. Finally, the refrigerator models are studied in presence of Markovian noise, and we analyse the response on the refrigeration of the noise strength. In particular, we find the noise strength until which refrigeration remains possible.

  We propose an engineering of interaction Hamiltonian using operators on different subspaces of the full Hilbert space of the system labelled by different magnetizations. We demonstrate, using the local as well as global quantum master equations, that a set of target qubits can be cooled simultaneously using these interaction Hamiltonians. We also extend the design to a star network of qubits interacting via Heisenberg interaction among each other, kept in contact with either three, or two heat baths, and discuss cooling of a set of target qubits using this device.

  coherent control of a two-level system is among the most essential challenges in modern quantum optics. We use a mechanically isolated quantum emitter in hexagonal boron nitride to explore the individual mechanisms which affect the coherence of an optical transition under resonant drive. New insights on the underlying physical decoherence mechanisms reveals a limit in temperature until which coherent driving of the system is possible.

• Designing Robust Quantum Refrigerators in Disordered Spin Models [0.0]
  We explore a small quantum refrigerator in which the working substance is made of paradigmatic nearest-neighbor quantum spin models. We identify a specific range of interaction strengths which can be tuned appropriately to ensure a cooling of the selected spin. In this domain, when one of the interaction strengths is disordered, the performance of the thermal machine operating as a refrigerator remains almost unchanged.

  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.

A qutrit probe outperforms a qubit one in the discrimination task, whereas a register made of two qubits does not offer any advantage.
