Theoretical treatments of periodically driven quantum thermal machines (PD-QTMs) are
largely focused on the limit-cycle stage of operation characterized by a periodic state of the …

We present a general unified approach for the study of quantum thermal machines,
including both heat engines and refrigerators, operating under periodic adiabatic driving …

For quantum Otto engine driven quasistatically, we provide exact full statistics of heat and
work for a class of working fluids that follow a scale-invariant energy eigenspectra under …

Can quantum mechanical thermodynamic engines outperform their classical counterparts?
To address one aspect of this question, we experimentally realize and characterize an …

Periodic driving and Floquet engineering have emerged as invaluable tools for controlling
and uncovering novel phenomena in quantum systems. In this study, we adopt these …

A properly selected quantum heat engine consumes resources efficiently. Also, there are
many parameters to determine the right option. In this study, we construct and compare the …

In finite-time quantum heat engines, some work is consumed to drive a working fluid
accompanying coherence, which is called “friction.” To understand the role of friction in …

Quantum thermal machines make use of non-classical thermodynamic resources, one of
which include interactions between elements of the quantum working medium. In this paper …

The Drazin inverse of the Liouvillian superoperator provides a solution to determine the
dynamics of a time-dependent system governed by the Markovian master equation. Under …

At the classical limit, a multi-stage, endoreversible Carnot cycle model of quantum heat
engine (QHE) working with non-interacting harmonic oscillators systems is established in …
