Nowaday s\, we are witnessing the emergence of the so called ''quantum technologies ''\, where the challenge is the realization of devices like transistors\, d iodes\, sensors and computers in platforms relying on single atoms\, ions a nd spins\, by fully exploiting the quantum-mechanical nature of these syste ms. \n\n \n\nThe diversity of operations in quantum devices include the gen eration of electrical currents\, quantum-state manipulation\, measurements and the implementation of logic gates. The associated energy dynamics and e ntropy production is ubiquitous of all these systems. Therefore\, it is of paramount importance the control of the energy dissipation. Even more promi sing is the “in-chip” realization of thermal machines in order to refrigera te and use the generated heat. In this talk I will discuss our level of und erstanding of these mechanisms in qubits\, which are the building blocks of quantum computers\, with special focus on superconducting qubits in quantu m-electrodynamical circuits.
