Abstract
Common intuition tells us that if one part of an interacting system is continuously cooled, the other parts should also cool down. This intuition can be put on firm grounds for the case of Markovian cooling of a free-fermion "lead" that is locally coupled to a generic quantum system. I will talk about a scenario where the opposite happens, namely, the system heats up toward its most excited state as the lead is cooled (or vice versa), even if other parameters favor sympathetic cooling. This dramatic effect originates from a simple but structured coupling that preserves a U(1) charge, and is realizable as existing setups.
