Abstract: We introduce a class of stochastic engines in which the regime of units operating synchronously can boost the performance. Our approach encompasses a minimal setup composed of $N$ interacting units placed in contact with two thermal baths and subjected to a constant driving worksource. The interplay between unit synchronization and interaction leads to an efficiency at maximum power between the Carnot, $\eta_{c}$, and the Curzon-Ahlborn bound, $\eta_{CA}$. Moreover, these limits can be respectively saturated maximizing the efficiency, and by simultaneous optimization of power and efficiency. We show that the interplay between Ising-like interactions and a collective ordered regime is crucial to operate as a heat engine. The main system features are investigated by means of a linear analysis near equilibrium, and developing an effective discrete-state model that captures the effects of the synchronous phase. The present framework paves the way for the building of promising nonequilibrium thermal machines based on ordered structures.

Synchronization Lower Bounds the Efficiency of Near-Degenerate Thermal Machines [0.0]
We study the relationship between quantum synchronization and the thermodynamic performance of a four-level near-degenerate extension of the Scovil-Schulz Dubois thermal maser. We show how the existence of interacting coherences can potentially modify the relationship between synchronization and the coherent power output of such a maser.

Interaction enhanced quantum heat engine [0.0]
We study a minimal quantum Otto heat engine, where the working medium consists of an interacting few-body system in a harmonic trap. We calculate the figures of merit of this engine as a function of the temperature and show clearly in which parameter regimes the interactions assist in engine performance.

Engineering a heat engine purely driven by quantum coherence [5.685589351789462]
Coherence is a resource beneficial or detrimental to the performance of quantum heat engines. We show that optimal coherence charging and extractable work is achieved when the coherence bath has an intermediate degree of coherence. The efficiency of the engine, given by the extractable work per input coherence flow, is optimised by avoiding coherence being stored in the system-bath correlations that is inaccessible to work.

Exploiting coherence for quantum thermodynamic advantage [0.0]
We investigate the impact of coherence on the thermodynamic tasks of a collision model composed of a system interacting. Our results show the advantages of utilising coherence as a resource in the operation of the machine. We find an effective upper bound to the efficiency of the thermal machine operating as an engine in the presence of a coherent reservoir.

Collective effects on the performance and stability of quantum heat engines [62.997667081978825]
Recent predictions for quantum-mechanical enhancements in the operation of small heat engines have raised renewed interest. One essential question is whether collective effects may help to carry enhancements over larger scales. We study how power, efficiency and constancy scale with the number of spins composing the engine.

Thermal coupling and effect of subharmonic synchronization in a system of two VO2 based oscillators [55.41644538483948]
We explore a prototype of an oscillatory neural network (ONN) based on vanadium dioxide switching devices. The effective action radius RTC of coupling depends both on the total energy released during switching and on the average power. In the case of a strong thermal coupling, the limit of the supply current parameters, for which the oscillations exist, expands by 10 %. The effect of subharmonic synchronization hold promise for application in classification and pattern recognition.
