We show a quantum boost in the output power of a heat engine formed by a two-level system coupled to a single-mode cavity. The key ingredient here is the nonstationary regime achieved when some system parameter (atomic transition frequency, in our case) is subjected to a time-dependent perturbative modulation that is precisely tuned at certain frequencies. We discuss how the extracted power can lead to amplification of the external driving field. Quantum power boost is found both in the nonstationary Jaynes-Cummings and Rabi models, indicating that our predictions can be experimentally tested in circuit quantum electrodynamics setups.

We identify that quantum coherence is a valuable resource in the quantum heat engine, which is designed in a quantum thermodynamic cycle assisted by a quantum Maxwells demon. This demon is in a superposed state. The quantum work and heat are redefine d as the sum of coherent and incoherent parts in the energy representation. The total quantum work and the corresponding efficiency of the heat engine can be enhanced due to the coherence consumption of the demon. In addition, we discuss an universal information heat engine driven by quantum coherence. The extractable work of this heat engine is limited by the quantum coherence, even if it has no classical thermodynamic cost. This resource-driven viewpoint provides a direct and effective way to clarify the thermodynamic processes where the coherent superposition of states cannot be ignored.
The thermodynamic properties of quantum heat engines are stochastic owing to the presence of thermal and quantum fluctuations. We here experimentally investigate the efficiency and nonequilibrium entropy production statistics of a spin-1/2 quantum Ot to cycle. We first study the correlations between work and heat within a cycle by extracting their joint distribution for different driving times. We show that near perfect anticorrelation, corresponding to the tight-coupling condition, can be achieved. In this limit, the reconstructed efficiency distribution is peaked at the macroscopic efficiency and fluctuations are strongly suppressed. We further test the second law in the form of a joint fluctuation relation for work and heat. Our results characterize the statistical features of a small-scale thermal machine in the quantum domain and provide means to control them.
We propose a quantum enhanced heat engine with entanglement. The key feature of our scheme is to utilize a superabsorption that exhibits an enhanced energy absorption by entangled qubits. While a conventional engine with separable qubits provides a s caling of a power $P = Theta (N)$ for given $N$ qubits, our engine using the superabsorption provides a power with a quantum scaling of $P = Theta(N^2)$ at a finite temperature. Our results pave the way for a new generation of quantum heat engines.
We study a quantum Stirling cycle which extracts work using quantized energy levels of a potential well. The work and the efficiency of the engine depend on the length of the potential well, and the Carnot efficiency is approached in a low temperatur e limiting case. We show that the lack of information about the position of the particle inside the potential well can be converted into useful work without resorting to any measurement. In the low temperature limit, we calculate the amount of work extractable from distinguishable particles, fermions, and bosons.
The performances of quantum thermometry in thermal equilibrium together with the output power of certain class of quantum engines share a common characteristic: both are determined by the heat capacity of the probe or working medium. After noticing t hat the heat capacity of spin ensembles can be significantly modified by collective coupling with a thermal bath, we build on the above observation to investigate the respective impact of such collective effect on quantum thermometry and quantum engines. We find that the precision of the temperature estimation is largely increased at high temperatures, reaching even the Heisenberg scaling - inversely proportional to the number of spins. For Otto engines operating close to the Carnot efficiency, collective coupling always enhances the output power. Some tangible experimental platforms are suggested.
