الوصف: We investigate coupled-qubit-based thermal machines powered by quantum measurements and feedback. We consider two different versions of the machine: 1) a quantum Maxwell's demon where the coupled-qubit system is connected to a detachable single shared bath, and 2) a measurement-assisted refrigerator where the coupled-qubit system is in contant with a hot and cold bath. In the quantum Maxwell's demon case we discuss both discrete and continuous measurements. We find that the power output from a single qubit-based device can be improved by coupling it to the second qubit. We further find that the simultaneous measurement of both qubits can produce higher net heat extraction compared to two setups operated in parallel where only single-qubit measurements are performed. In the refrigerator case, we use continuous measurement and unitary operations to power the coupled-qubit-based refrigerator. We find that the cooling power of a refrigerator operated with swap operations can be enhanced by performing suitable measurements.
