Magnetic Quantum Otto Engine for the Single-Particle Landau Problem
We study the effect of the degeneracy factor in the energy levels of the well-known Landau problem for a magnetic quantum Otto engine. The scheme of the cycle is composed of two quantum adiabatic processes and two quantum isomagnetic processes driven by a quasi-static modulation of external magnetic field intensity. We derive the analytical expression of the relation between the magnetic field ...
متن کاملSuperradiant Quantum Heat Engine
Quantum physics revolutionized classical disciplines of mechanics, statistical physics, and electrodynamics. One branch of scientific knowledge however seems untouched: thermodynamics. Major motivation behind thermodynamics is to develop efficient heat engines. Technology has a trend to miniaturize engines, reaching to quantum regimes. Development of quantum heat engines (QHEs) requires emergin...
متن کاملIsolated quantum heat engine.
We present a theoretical and numerical analysis of a quantum system that is capable of functioning as a heat engine. This system could be realized experimentally using cold bosonic atoms confined to a double well potential that is created by splitting a harmonic trap with a focused laser. The system shows thermalization, and can model a reversible heat engine cycle. This is the first demonstrat...
متن کاملA simple quantum heat engine
A simple urn model is presented that may describe heat engines employing as working agents spin2 particles (e.g., electrons) or twolevel atoms. In this model the cold reservoir is an urn located at altitude ǫc that contains N balls of total weight nc. Likewise, the hot reservoir at altitude ǫh contains N balls of total weight nh. A cycle consists of exchanging two randomly selected balls betwee...
متن کاملGeneral Formula for the Efficiency of Quantum-Mechanical Analog of the Carnot Engine
An analog of the Carnot engine reversibly operating within the framework of pure-state quantum mechanics is discussed. A general formula is derived for the efficiency of such an engine with an arbitrary confining potential. Its expression is given in terms of an energy spectrum and shows how the efficiency depends on a potential as the analog of a working material in thermodynamics, in general....
