Quantum Fuel with Multilevel Atomic Coherence for Ultrahigh Specific Work in a Photonic Carnot Engine

open access: yes, 2015
We investigate scaling of work and efficiency of a photonic Carnot engine with the number of quantum coherent resources. Specifically, we consider a generalization of the "phaseonium fuel" for the photonic Carnot engine, which was first introduced as a ...

Thermodynamics of quantum systems under dynamical control

open access: yes, 2015
In this review the debated rapport between thermodynamics and quantum mechanics is addressed in the framework of the theory of periodically-driven/controlled quantum-thermodynamic machines. The basic model studied here is that of a two-level system (TLS),

Self‐Maintained Thermal Charging Cells for the Efficient Harvesting of Waste Heat at Elevated Temperatures

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 3, May 2026.
Thermal charging cells (TCS) face two main challenges that limit their practical applications: 1) Still lacking the systems suitable for operation under higher temperature environments, and 2) there are limitations in the self‐sustaining performance of continuous discharge under temperature differences, which holds critical significance for the real ...
