| Abstract: | A pair of two-level systems initially prepared in different thermal states and coupled to an external reversible work source do not in general reach a common temperature at the end of a unitary work extraction process. We define an effective temperature for the final nonequilibrium but passive state of the bipartite quantum system and analyze its properties. |
