Quantum heat engines with Carnot efficiency at maximum power

چکیده
Heat engines constitute the major building blocks of modern technologies. However, conventional heat with higher power yield lesser efficiency and vice versa respect various power-efficiency trade-off relations. This is also assumed to be true for operating in quantum regime. Here we show that these relations are not fundamental. We introduce deliver maximum Carnot one-shot finite-size These composed working systems a finite number particles restricted measurements. The operate one-step cycle by letting system simultaneously interact hot cold baths via semi-local thermal operations. By allowing entanglement between its constituents and, thereby, coherent transfer from baths, engine implements fastest possible reversible state transformation each cycle, resulting efficiency. Finally, propose physically realizable using optical systems.

Efficiency at maximum power of low-dissipation Carnot engines.
We study the efficiency at maximum power, η*, of engines performing finite-time Carnot cycles between a hot and a cold reservoir at temperatures Th and Tc, respectively. For engines reaching Carnot efficiency ηC=1-Tc/Th in the reversible limit (long cycle time, zero dissipation), we find in the limit of low dissipation that η* is bounded from above by ηC/(2-ηC) and from below by ηC/2. These bou...
متن کاملEfficiency at maximum power output of linear irreversible Carnot-like heat engines.
The efficiency at maximum power output of linear irreversible Carnot-like heat engines is investigated based on the assumption that the rate of irreversible entropy production of the working substance in each "isothermal" process is a quadratic form of the heat exchange rate between the working substance and the reservoir. It is found that the maximum power output corresponds to minimizing the ...
متن کاملMaximum efficiency of steady-state heat engines at arbitrary power.
We discuss the efficiency of a heat engine operating in a nonequilibrium steady state maintained by two heat reservoirs. Within the general framework of linear irreversible thermodynamics we derive a universal upper bound on the efficiency of the engine operating at arbitrary fixed power. Furthermore, we show that a slight decrease of the power below its maximal value can lead to a significant ...
متن کاملQuantum-dot Carnot engine at maximum power.
We evaluate the efficiency at maximum power of a quantum-dot Carnot heat engine. The universal values of the coefficients at the linear and quadratic order in the temperature gradient are reproduced. Curzon-Ahlborn efficiency is recovered in the limit of weak dissipation.
متن کاملMaximum-power quantum-mechanical Carnot engine.
In their work [J. Phys. A 33, 4427 (2000)], Bender, Brody, and Meister have shown by employing a two-state model of a particle confined in the one-dimensional infinite potential well that it is possible to construct a quantum-mechanical analog of the Carnot engine through changes of both the width of the well and the quantum state in a specific manner. Here, a discussion is developed about real...
