Optimal performance of a three-stroke heat engine in the microscopic regime

T Biswas, C Datta - Physical Review A, 2024‏ - APS
We consider a three-stroke engine in the microscopic regime where the working body of the
engine is composed of a two-level system. The working body of the engine aims to withdraw …

Catalytic enhancement in the performance of the microscopic two-stroke heat engine

T Biswas, M Łobejko, P Mazurek, M Horodecki - Physical Review E, 2024‏ - APS
We consider a model of heat engine operating in the microscopic regime: the two-stroke
engine. It produces work and exchanges heat in two discrete strokes that are separated in …

Superoptimal charging of quantum batteries via reservoir engineering: Arbitrary energy transfer unlocked

B Ahmadi, P Mazurek, S Barzanjeh, P Horodecki - Physical Review Applied, 2025‏ - APS
Arbitrary energy transfer is only feasible in nondissipative charger-battery systems; in
realistic processes, however, energy dissipation prevents this. In this work, we introduce a …

Energy dissipation, typically considered an undesirable process, has recently been shown
to be harnessed as a resource to optimize the performance of a quantum battery. Following …

Quantum thermodynamic advantage in work extraction from steerable quantum correlations

T Biswas, C Datta, LP García-Pintos - arxiv preprint arxiv:2502.15045, 2025‏ - arxiv.org
Inspired by the primary goal of quantum thermodynamics--to characterize quantum
signatures and leverage their benefits in thermodynamic scenarios--, we design a work …

Finite-size catalysis in quantum resource theories

P Lipka-Bartosik, K Korzekwa - Physical Review A, 2025‏ - APS
Quantum catalysis, the ability to enable previously impossible transformations by using
auxiliary systems without degrading them, has emerged as a powerful tool in various …

Quantum Thermoelectric Circuits: A Universal Approach

D Tiwari, S Bhattacharya, S Banerjee - arxiv preprint arxiv:2411.03898, 2024‏ - arxiv.org
In this work, we develop a panoramic schematic of a quantum thermoelectric circuit theory in
the steady state regime. We establish the foundations of the said premise by defining the …
