Performance of Continuous Quantum Thermal Devices Indirectly Connected to Environments

A general quantum thermodynamics network is composed of thermal devices connected to environments through quantum wires. The coupling between the devices and the wires may introduce additional decay channels which modify the system performance with respect to the directly-coupled device. We analyze...
