- 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 a transistor in which the interaction between the working substance and an environment comprising of an infinite chain of qutrits is based on periodic collisions.
We show that there exists a non-zero amplification even if one of the environments, that is not the modulating one, is detached from the system.
We also quantify the non-Markovianity induced in the system from a non-monotonic behavior of the amplification observed with respect to time.

We show that within the same model, the environment can take three different thermodynamic roles.
