Bound on Efficiency of Heat Engine from Uncertainty Relation Viewpoint

Abstract: Quantum cycles in established heat engines can be modeled with various quantum systems as working substances. For example, a heat engine can be modeled with an infinite potential well as the working substance to determine the efficiency and work done. However, in this method, the relationship between the quantum observables and the physically measurable parameters—i.e., the efficiency and work done—is not well understood from the quantum mechanics approach. A detailed analysis is needed to link the thermodynam… Show more

“…For example, in quantum Szilard engine [43], extracting work from a thermal reservoir is possible only by utilizing information acquired by a demon. However, in quantum Stirling engine whose working substance is the same as of the quantum Szilard engine, work is extracted without requirement to perform measurement and feedback of its result [46,47] (see also [48,49]), i.e. the presence of a demon is not necessary here as well as for the discussed modified refrigerator.…”

“…Most of the cases that have been analyzed for understanding the generic thermodynamic features in quantum thermal machines do not exhibit any proper evidence of quantum advantage over their classical counterparts [44][45][46][47][48]. Among them, only a few analyze the quantum-enhanced machines specifically from the viewpoint of a single particle within a potential well, based on quantized energy levels [12,13,49,50]. On the other hand, many-particle quantum thermal machines were shown to outperform the classical counterparts using interacting Bose gases in a time-dependent harmonic trap and a tight waveguide [7,9].…”
