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 …

Controlled quantum machines have matured significantly. A natural next step is to
increasingly grant them autonomy, freeing them from time-dependent external control. For …

We discuss a quantum thermal machine that generates power from a thermally driven
double quantum dot coupled to normal and superconducting reservoirs. Energy exchange …

There are two paradigms to study nanoscale engines in stochastic and quantum
thermodynamics. Autonomous models, which do not rely on any external time dependence …

In the past decade, a new research frontier emerges at the interface between physics and
renewable energy, termed as inelastic thermoelectric effects, where inelastic transport …

Manipulating quantum thermal transport relies on uncovering the principle working cycles of
quantum devices. Here we introduce the cycle flux ranking of network analysis to …

Few-level systems coupled to thermal baths provide useful models for quantum
thermodynamics and to understand the role of heat currents in quantum information settings …
