• Abstract: In this work, we introduce a three-stroke quantum engine with a single-qubit work-ing substance whose cycle consists of two strokes arise due to performing two distinctgeneral quantum measurements and it is completed by thermalization through contactwith a finite temperature thermal reservoir. It is demonstrated that energy is importedinto the engine by first measurement channel and work (usefulenergy) is extracted fromit, in a frictionless isentropic manner, by the second measurement channel. It is par-ticularly shown that the engine is capable to have perfect efficiency. In continuation,we equip the the engine cycle with two additional adiabatic strokes. As illustrated,the presence of adiabatic strokes in the cycle provide an improved lower bound for theparametrized efficiency range of the engine.

  We study a quantum harmonic Otto engine under a hot squeezed thermal reservoir with asymmetry between the two adiabatic branches. In the first configuration, the driving protocol for the expansion stroke is sudden-switch in nature and compression stroke is driven adiabatically. We find that the maximum achievable efficiency in sudden expansion case is 1/2 only while it approaches unity for the sudden compression stroke.

  A quantum engine composed of two oscillators with a non-Hookean coupling is proposed.

Numerical simulations are used to demonstrate the measurement-driven fueling, as well as the reduced decoupling energy.
