Small quantum absorption refrigerator in the transient regime: Time scales, enhanced cooling, and entanglement
Small quantum absorption refrigerator in the transient regime: Time scales, enhanced cooling, and entanglement
A small quantum absorption refrigerator, consisting of three qubits, is discussed in the transient regime. We discuss time scales for coherent dynamics, damping, and approach to the steady state, and we study cooling and entanglement. We observe that cooling can be enhanced in the transient regime, in the sense that …
