Performance of quantum heat engines via adiabatic deformation of potential

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

We present a quantum Otto engine model consisting of two isochoric and two adiabatic strokes, where the adiabatic expansion or compression is realized by adiabatically changing the shape of the potential. Here we show that such an adiabatic deformation may alter operation mode and enhance machine performance by increasing output work and efficiency, even with the advantage of decreasing work fluctuations. If the heat engine operates under maximal power by optimizing the control parameter, the efficiency shows certain universal behavior.
