• Abstract summary: This paper presents a conceptual design for quantum heat machines using a pair of coupled double quantum dots (DQDs) We define a compression ratio as the ratio between the Coulomb couplings which describes the interaction between the electrons during the isochoric processes of the quantum Otto cycle. We show how we can achieve a classically inconceivable Otto engine, when considering the effects due to the parameters related to the quantum tunneling of a single electron between each individual DQD.

• Abstract: This paper presents a conceptual design for quantum heat machines using a pair of coupled double quantum dots (DQDs), each DQD with an excess electron to interact, as an working substance. We define a compression ratio as the ratio between the Coulomb couplings which describes the interaction between the electrons during the isochoric processes of the quantum Otto cycle and then we analyse the arising of different regimes of operations of our thermal machine. We also show how we can achieve a classically inconceivable Otto engine, when considering the effects due to the parameters related to the quantum tunneling of a single electron between each individual DQD.

• Quantum evolution of mixed states and performance of quantum heat engines [0.0]
  We introduce a technique for calculation the density operator time evolution along the lines of Heisenberg representation of quantum mechanics. We show that such systems exhibit interesting quantum dynamics in which oscillators swap their thermal states due to entanglement induced in the process of energy exchange and yield noise induced coherence. Our results deepen understanding of quantum evolution of mixed states which could be useful to design quantum machines with a better performance.

Several entanglement quantifiers, including quantum mutual information, negativity, and concurrence, are employed to validate our findings.
