Reaction-rate modifications for chemical processes due to strong coupling between reactant
molecular vibrations and the cavity vacuum have been reported; however, no currently …

Thermodynamics originated in the need to understand novel technologies developed by the
Industrial Revolution. However, over the centuries, the description of engines, refrigerators …

Quantum heat engines are expected to outperform the classical counterparts due to
quantum coherences involved. Here we experimentally execute a single-ion quantum heat …

We study a four-stroke Otto engine whose working fluid is a quantum Ising chain. The
thermodynamic cycle consists in sweeps of the transverse magnetic field occurring in …

We investigate heat engines whose working substance is made of two coupled qubits
performing a generalized Otto cycle by varying their applied magnetic field or their …

The Tavis-Cummings (TC) model, which serves as a natural physical realization of a
quantum battery, comprises N b atoms as battery cells that collectively interact with a shared …

The introduction of the quantum analogue of a Carnot engine based on a bath comprising of
particles with a small amount of coherence initiated an active line of research on the …

In this paper, we consider a heat engines composed of two interactional qubits with spin-
orbit interaction (Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya (DM)) subject to an external magnetic field, so that …

Many-body-localized (MBL) systems do not thermalize under their intrinsic dynamics. The
athermality of MBL, we propose, can be harnessed for thermodynamic tasks. We illustrate …

We have studied the performance of a measurement-based quantum Otto engine (QOE) in a
working system of two spins coupled by Heisenberg anisotropic interaction. A nonselective …
