• Abstract: We investigate quantum Otto engine and refrigeration cycles of a time-dependent harmonic oscillator operating under the conditions of maximum $\Omega$-function, a trade-off objective function which represents a compromise between energy benefits and losses for a specific job, for both adiabatic and nonadiabatic (sudden) frequency modulations. We derive analytical expressions for the efficiency and coefficient of performance of the Otto cycle. For the case of adiabatic driving, we point out that in the low-temperature regime, the harmonic Otto engine (refrigerator) can be mapped to Feynman's ratchet and pawl model which is a steady state classical heat engine. For the sudden switch of frequencies, we obtain loop-like behavior of the efficiency-work curve, which is characteristic of irreversible heat engines. Finally, we discuss the behavior of cooling power at maximum $\Omega$-function and indicate the optimal operational point of the refrigerator.

  We investigate the optimal performance of quantum Otto engine and refrigeration cycles under a trade-off figure of merit. For heat engine, the chosen trade-off figure of merit is an objective function defined by the product of efficiency (coefficient of performance) and work output (cooling load) We show that the trade-off objective functions have desirable operation only for the adiabatic driving whereas for the sudden switch operation, the choice of a trade-off objective function does not make much difference.

  Reservoir engineering is a remarkable task that takes dissipation and decoherence as tools rather than impediments. We develop a collisional model to implement reservoir engineering for the one-dimensional harmonic motion of a trapped ion. Having multiple internal levels, we show that multiple reservoirs can be engineered, allowing for more efficient synthesis of well-known non-classical states of motion.

  We study the efficiency large deviation function of two exemplary quantum heat engines. We find that the latter framework does not apply in the adiabatic regime. We relate this unusual property to the perfect anticorrelation between work output and heat input that generically occurs in the broad class of scale-invariant adiabatic quantum Otto heat engines.
