Quantum mechanically enhanced performance of simple heat machines

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

We revisit the thermodynamic bounds of work extraction in simple quantum heat machines subject to control by frequent modulations that do not comply with adiabatic assumptions. The laws of thermodynamics are obeyed, yet anomalous deviations from the known bounds are revealed.
