Quantum 9, 1666 (2025). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2025-03-20-1666 Quantum thermodynamics and quantum entanglement represent two pivotal quantum resource theories with significant relevance in quantum information science. Despite their importance, the intricate relationship between these two theories is still not fully understood. Here, we investigate the interplay between entanglement and thermodynamics, particularly in the context of local cooling processes. We introduce and develop the framew
