• Abstract: We study a quantum Otto cycle that uses a 2-qubit working substance whose Hamiltonian does not commute with itself at different times during unitary strokes. We investigate how the cycle responds to the loss of quantum adiabaticity when these strokes are operated with a finite duration. We find that qualitative features such as the possibility of counter-rotating cycles operating as heat engines, or a cycle efficiency that can increase with a decrease in the temperature difference between the baths, are resilient even to highly nonadiabatic strokes. However, cycle efficiency rapidly decreases, although it can still remain above the standard Otto value for small degrees of quantum nonadiabaticity.

  We investigate the energetic advantage of accelerating an Otto engine by use of shortcuts to adiabaticity and to equilibrium. Applying both type of shortcuts leads to enhanced power and efficiency even after the driving costs are taken into account. We show that controlling three strokes of the cycle leads to an overall improvement of the performance metrics compared with controlling only the two adiabatic strokes.

  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.

A qutrit probe outperforms a qubit one in the discrimination task, whereas a register made of two qubits does not offer any advantage.

  We show that a quantum Otto cycle in which the medium, an interacting ultracold gas, is driven between a superfluid and an insulating phase can outperform similar single particle cycles. The presence of an energy gap between the two phases can be used to improve performance. The interplay between lattice forces and the particle distribution can lead to a many-body cooperative effect.
