We present the results from a deep Chandra observation of the X-ray luminous galaxy cluster surrounding the powerful (L˜10^{47} erg/s) quasar 3C186 at z=1.06. We derived the cluster properties, e.g. mass and X-ray luminosity, gas mass fraction, temperature and metal abundances. We measure cooling times at several radii, with the cooling time of 7.5±2.6 × 10^{8}yrs at 25 kpc distance from the center. The amount of cool gas is enough to fuel the black hole and to power the luminous quasar. The radiative power of the quasar exceeds the kinematic power of the radio source, suggesting that radiative heating may be important. We discuss several aspects of quasar-cluster interactions and the impact of the luminous quasar on the cluster.
