Engines are systems and devices that convert one form of energy into another, typically into
a more useful form that can perform work. In the classical setup, physical, chemical, and …

We present an overview of recent advances in the study of energy dynamics and
mechanisms for energy conversion in qubit systems with special focus on realizations in …

We introduce a two-qubit engine that is powered by entanglement and local measurements.
Energy is extracted from the detuned qubits coherently exchanging a single excitation …

Generalized measurements may allow the control of its back-action on the quantum system
by interpolating from a very weak to strong projective action. Such a measurement can fuel a …

We propose a quantum harmonic oscillator measurement engine fueled by simultaneous
quantum measurements of the noncommuting position and momentum quadratures of the …

We study the Hamiltonian dynamics of a many-body quantum system subjected to periodic
projective measurements, which leads to probabilistic cellular automata dynamics. Given a …

A quantum-controlled device may produce a scenario in which two general quantum
operations can be performed in such a way that it is not possible to associate a definite order …

We compare quantum Otto engines based on two different cycle models: a two-bath model,
with a standard heat source and sink, and a measurement-based protocol, where the role of …

Recent advances in the study of thermodynamics of microscopic processes have driven the
search for new developments in energy converters utilizing quantum effects. Here we …

When a measurement observable does not commute with a quantum system's Hamiltonian,
the energy of the measured system is typically not conserved during the measurement …
