• Abstract summary: Quantum refrigerator autonomously extracts heat from a cold bath and dumps into a hot bath by exploiting the input heat from a higher temperature reservoir. We propose and examine a two-body QAR model based upon optomechanical-like coupling in the working medium. In the ideal case without internal dissipation, within the experimentally realizable parameters, our model can attain the coefficient of performance that is arbitrarily close to the Carnot bound.

• Abstract: Quantum absorption refrigerator (QAR) autonomously extracts heat from a cold bath and dumps into a hot bath by exploiting the input heat from a higher temperature reservoir. QARs typically require three-body interactions. We propose and examine a two-body QAR model based upon optomechanical-like coupling in the working medium composed of either two two-level systems or two harmonic oscillators or one two-level atom and a harmonic oscillator. In the ideal case without internal dissipation, within the experimentally realizable parameters, our model can attain the coefficient of performance that is arbitrarily close to the Carnot bound. We study the efficiency at maximum power, a bound for practical purposes, and show that by using suitable reservoir engineering and exploiting the nonlinear optomechanial-like coupling, one can achieve efficiency at maximum power close to the Carnot bound, though the power gradually approaches to zero as the efficiency approaches the Carnot bound. Moreover, we discuss the impact of non-classical correlations and the size of Hilbert space on the cooling power. Finally, we consider a more realistic version of our model in which we consider heat leaks that makes QAR non-ideal and prevent it to achieve the Carnot efficiency.

  Coherence is a resource beneficial or detrimental to the performance of quantum heat engines. We show that optimal coherence charging and extractable work is achieved when the coherence bath has an intermediate degree of coherence. The efficiency of the engine, given by the extractable work per input coherence flow, is optimised by avoiding coherence being stored in the system-bath correlations that is inaccessible to work.
