Abstract: Heat engines are considered a valuable resource for modern society. The development of these systems leads to the production of heat engines with high efficiency despite their small size, called quantum heat engines. Among these, the quantum Otto cycle which is considered a fundamental thermodynamic cycle in classical heat engines, has also found applications in the realm of quantum heat engines. In this paper, we consider three InAs quantum dots as a working substance, which allows the engine to operate at very small scales, in the presence of an electric field, and the Forster mechanism, which describes the transfer of energy between quantum dots and affects thus the engine's behavior. In this regard, we study the behavior of the work performed by the engine and the entanglement in the system as the Forster parameter is varied. We find that the work performed by the engine is affected by the Forster interaction and the electric field and that the entanglement in the system also changed as the Forster parameter was changed. Finally, we study the influence of entanglement on the work performed by the engine. We find and discuss the intricate relation between the entanglement and the performance of the engine.

Quantum Engines and Refrigerators [0.0]
Engines are systems and devices that convert one form of energy into another, typically into a more useful form that can perform work. In the quantum regime, however, the principles of energy conversion become ambiguous, since quantum phenomena come into play. Our work provides a broad overview of this active field of quantum engines and refrigerators, reviewing the latest theoretical proposals and experimental realizations.

The problem of engines in statistical physics [62.997667081978825]
Engines are open systems that can generate work cyclically, at the expense of an external disequilibrium. Recent advances in the theory of open quantum systems point to a more realistic description of autonomous engines. We show how the external loading force and the thermal noise may be incorporated into the relevant equations of motion.
