• Abstract: We explore the effects of quantum mechanical squeezing on the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of a coherent heat engine with squeezed reservoirs coupled to a squeezed cavity. We observe that the standard known phenomenon of flux-optimization beyond the classical limit with respect to quantum coherence is destroyed in presence of squeezing. Under extreme nonequilibrium conditions, the flux is rendered independent of squeezing. The efficiency at maximum power (EMP) obtained by optimizing the cavity's squeezing parameter is greater than what was predicted by Curzon and Ahlborn even in the absence of reservoir squeezing. The EMP with respect to the either of reservoirs' squeezing parameters is surprisingly equal and linear in $\eta_C$ with a slope unequal to the universally accepted slope, 1/2. The slope is found to be proportional to the dissipation into the cavity mode and an intercept equal to a specific numerical value of the engine's efficiency.

  We propose two schemes for generating Wigner-negative entangled states unconditionally in mechanical resonators. We show analytically that both schemes stabilize a Wigner-negative entangled state that combines the entanglement of a two-mode squeezed vacuum with a cubic nonlinearity. We then perform extensive numerical simulations to test the robustness of Wigner-negative entanglement attained by approximate CPE states stabilized in the presence of thermal decoherence.
