• Abstract: We report an experimental demonstration of a coupled-mode heat engine in a two-membrane-in-the-middle cavity optomechanical system. The normal mode of the cavity-mediated strongly coupled nanoresonators is utilized as the working medium and an Otto cycle is realized by extracting work between two phononic thermal reservoirs. The heat engine performance is characterized in both normal mode and bare mode pictures, which reveals that the correlation of two membranes plays a significant role during the thermodynamic cycle. Moreover, a straight-twin nanomechanical engine is implemented by engineering the normal modes and operating two cylinders out-of-phase. Our results demonstrate an essential class of heat engine for the first time in cavity optomechanical systems and provide a novel platform for investigating heat engines of interacting subsystems in small scales with controllability and scalability.

• Proposal for Composite Quantum Electromagnetically Induced Transparency Heat Engine Coupled by a Nanomechanical Mirror [0.0]
  The paper introduces a quantum heat engine model that utilizes an ultracold atomic gas and a nanomechanical mirror. The mirror's vibration induces an opto-mechanical sideband in the control field, affecting the behavior of the cold gas. The model observed that when subjected to mirror vibration, the proposed heat engines diverged from the characteristics expected in an ideal heat engine.

  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.

In order to illustrate our findings we study, from both perspectives, matter-radiation interaction processes for two different systems.
