- Authors: Tim Keller, Thom\'as Fogarty, Jing Li, and Thomas Busch
- Abstract summary: A Bose-Einstein condensate can be used to produce work by tuning the strength of the interparticle interactions with the help of Feshbach resonances.
These interaction ramps change the volume of the trapped gas allowing one to create a thermodynamic cycle known as the Feshbach engine.
Here we investigate how such an engine can be run in the Thomas-Fermi regime and present a shortcut to adiabaticity that minimizes the irreversible work and allows for efficient engine operation.

- Abstract: Bose-Einstein condensates can be used to produce work by tuning the strength
of the interparticle interactions with the help of Feshbach resonances. In
inhomogeneous potentials, these interaction ramps change the volume of the
trapped gas allowing one to create a thermodynamic cycle known as the Feshbach
engine. However, in order to obtain a large power output, the engine strokes
must be performed on a short timescale, which is in contrast with the fact that
the efficiency of the engine is reduced by irreversible work if the strokes are
done in a non-adiabatic fashion. Here we investigate how such an engine can be
run in the Thomas-Fermi regime and present a shortcut to adiabaticity that
minimizes the irreversible work and allows for efficient engine operation.

Reservoir engineering is a remarkable task that takes dissipation and decoherence as tools rather than impediments.
We develop a collisional model to implement reservoir engineering for the one-dimensional harmonic motion of a trapped ion.

We first characterize the parameter regime that the working medium operates as an engine in the adiabatic regime.
We consider finite-time behavior of the engine with and without utilizing a shortcut to adiabaticity technique.
We observe that, for certain parameter regimes, the irreversibility, as measured by the efficiency lags, due to finite-time driving is so low that non-adiabatic engine performs quite close to the adiabatic engine.
