- Abstract summary: We study a quantum Otto engine at finite time, where the working substance is composed of a two-level system interacting with a harmonic oscillator.
We relate the total work extracted and the efficiency at maximum power with the quantum correlations embedded in the working substance.
We find that the engine can overcome the Curzon-Ahlborn efficiency when the working substance is in the ultrastrong coupling regime.

- Abstract: We study a quantum Otto engine at finite time, where the working substance is
composed of a two-level system interacting with a harmonic oscillator,
described by the quantum Rabi model. We obtain the limit cycle and calculate
the total work extracted, efficiency, and power of the engine by numerically
solving the master equation describing the open system dynamics. We relate the
total work extracted and the efficiency at maximum power with the quantum
correlations embedded in the working substance, which we consider through
entanglement of formation and quantum discord. Interestingly, we find that the
engine can overcome the Curzon-Ahlborn efficiency when the working substance is
in the ultrastrong coupling regime. This high-efficiency regime roughly
coincides with the cases where the entanglement in the working substance
experiences the greatest reduction in the hot isochoric stage. Our results
highlight the efficiency performance of correlated working substances for
quantum heat engines.

The boosted efficiency arises from a trade-off between the entropy production and the consumption of quantum correlations.

A quantum thermal machine is an open quantum system coupled to hot and cold thermal baths.
A hallmark of non-Hermiticity is the existence of exceptional points where the eigenvalues of a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian or an Liouvillian superoperator and their associated eigenvectors coalesce.
Here, we report the experimental realisation of a single-ion heat engine and demonstrate the effect of the Liouvillian exceptional points on the dynamics and the performance of a quantum heat engine.
