Heat-bath algorithmic cooling (HBAC) has been proven to be a powerful and effective method for obtaining high polarization of the target system. Its cooling upper bound has been recently found using a specific algorithm, the partner pairing algorithm (PPAHBAC). It has been shown that by including cross-relaxation, it is possible to surpass the cooling bounds. Herein, by combining cross-relaxation and decoherence-free subspace, we present a two-qubit reset sequence and then generate a new algorithmic cooling (AC) technique using irreversible polarization compression to further surpass the bound. The proposed two-qubit reset sequence can prepare one of the two qubits to four times the polarization of a single-qubit reset operation in PPA-HBAC for low polarization. When the qubit number is large, the cooling limit of the proposed AC is approximately five times as high as the PPA-HBAC. The results reveal that cross-relaxation and decoherence-free subspace are promising resources to create new AC for higher polarization. algorithmic cooling, polarization enhancing, cross-relaxation, decoherence-free subspace PACS number(s): Citation:

1 Introduction Enhancing the polarization is of great significance to quantum information technology. For example, effectively enhancing the polarization can improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in spectroscopy [1, 2] and provide a potential solution to overcome the scalable problem [3] for many quantum computation systems such as NMR and ESR [4-6].

over, polarization enhancement can help to prepare ancilla qubits in highly pure states for quantum error correction [7]. The polarization of one qubit is defined as th
