• Abstract summary: We study an Otto heat machine whose working substance is a single two-level system interacting with a cold thermal reservoir and with a squeezed hot thermal reservoir. We show that our two-level system can function as a universal heat machine, either producing net work by consuming heat or consuming work that is used to cool or heat environments.

• Abstract: We study an Otto heat machine whose working substance is a single two-level system interacting with a cold thermal reservoir and with a squeezed hot thermal reservoir. By adjusting the squeezing or the adiabaticity parameter (the probability of transition) we show that our two-level system can function as a universal heat machine, either producing net work by consuming heat or consuming work that is used to cool or heat environments. Using our model we study the performance of these machine in the finite-time regime of the isentropic strokes, which is a regime that contributes to make them useful from a practical point of view.

  Environments in quantum thermodynamics usually take the role of heat baths. We show that within the same model, the environment can take three different thermodynamic roles. The exact role of the environment is determined by the strength and structure of the coupling.

  We develop an alternative theoretical framework for the thermodynamic analysis of two-level systems. We observe the appearance of a new term of work, which represents the energy cost of rotating the Bloch vector in presence of the external field that defines the local Hamiltonian. In order to illustrate our findings we study, from both perspectives, matter-radiation interaction processes for two different systems.
