Finite machine-load coupling turns a simple three-level thermal machine into a four-regime device where stronger coupling suppresses engine and refrigerator operation and the load's initial occupation acts as a control knob.

Emergence of thermodynamic functioning regimes from finite coupling between a quantum thermal machine and a load
Finite machine-load coupling turns a simple three-level thermal machine into a four-regime device where stronger coupling suppresses engine and refrigerator operation and the load's initial occupation acts as a control knob.
