- Abstract: Generalized measurements may allow the control of its back-action on the
quantum system by interpolating from a very weak to strong projective action.
Such a measurement can fuel a quantum heat engine or extract work depending on
the system-meter interaction. Here, we performed a proof-of-concept experiment
using nuclear magnetic resonance techniques to investigate a spin quantum heat
engine driven by non-selective generalized (weak) measurements without feedback
control. Our prototype of a quantum thermal device operates with a measurement
protocol and a single heat bath. The protocol is composed of two non-selective
measurement channels with variable measurement strengths, one dedicated to
fueling the device (analogous to a hot heat source) and the other committed to
work extraction. The experimental results highlight that this kind of quantum
thermal device can reach unit efficiency with maximum extracted power by
fine-tuning of the measurement strengths.

We show that a microscopic model of the apparatus is necessary to determine whether quantum measurements provide energy in the form of heat or work.
We demonstrate a trade-off between a maximal thermodynamic efficiency when the measurement-based refrigerator is fueled by heat and a maximal measurement efficiency quantified by the signal-to-noise ratio in the work-fueled regime.
