Real quantum heat engines lack the separation of time and length scales that is characteristic for classical engines. They must be understood as open quantum systems in non-equilibrium with time-controlled coupling to thermal reservoirs as…
The unavoidable irreversible losses of power in a heat engine are found to be of quantum origin. Following thermodynamic tradition a model quantum heat engine operating by the Otto cycle is analyzed. The working medium of the model is…
For a four-stroke asymmetrically driven quantum Otto engine with working medium modeled by a single qubit, we study the bounds on non-equilibrium fluctuations of work and heat. We find strict relations between the fluctuations of work and…
