Abstract
The four-level entangled quantum refrigerator (QR) is studied in the XXZ Heisenberg model for the two-qubits. The Hamiltonian of the problem includes the exchange parameters Jx = Jy = J and Jz = αJ along the x-, y- and z-directions, respectively, and constant external magnetic field B in the z-direction. The parameter α is introduced into the model which controls the strength of the exchange parameter Jz in comparison to Jx and Jy, thus, our investigation of QR includes the XX (α = 0.0), XXX (α = 1.0) and XXZ (for other α's) Heisenberg models. The two-qubits are assumed to be in contact with two heat reservoirs at different temperatures. The concurrences for a two-qubit are used as a measure of entanglement and then the expressions for the amount of heat transferred, the work performed and the efficiency are derived. The contour, i.e., the isoline maps, and some two-dimensional plots of the above mentioned thermodynamic quantities are illustrated.
