• Title: Advantages of non-Hookean coupling in a measurement-fueled two-oscillator engine
• Authors: Aleksandr Rodin
• Abstract summary: A quantum engine composed of two oscillators with a non-Hookean coupling is proposed. Unlike the more common quantum heat engines, the setup introduced here does not require heat baths as the energy for the operation originates from measurements. Numerical simulations are used to demonstrate the measurement-driven fueling, as well as the reduced decoupling energy.

• Abstract: A quantum engine composed of two oscillators with a non-Hookean coupling is proposed. Unlike the more common quantum heat engines, the setup introduced here does not require heat baths as the energy for the operation originates from measurements. The engine follows the coupling $\rightarrow$ measurement $\rightarrow$ decoupling $\rightarrow$ extraction cycle. Using a Gaussian term as a prototypical non-harmonic interaction, it is shown that the fueling process facilitates the decoupling step. Numerical simulations are used to demonstrate the measurement-driven fueling, as well as the reduced decoupling energy.

  We investigate the advantages of nonreciprocal coupling in sensing a driving signal. A single non-reciprocal coupling can increase measurement precision up to 2 times. In a non-zero temperature dissipative environment, we demonstrate that the nonreciprocal quantum sensing has better robustness to thermal noise than the reciprocal quantum sensing.

  We study the dynamics of a quantum thermal engine and a quantum thermal engine whose working medium is spin 1/2 system. The role of times durations of such steps in the quantum engines for getting maximal efficiency is analyzed. Since the separate steps in thermal engines describe non-cyclic circuits, we propose to use a special method for measuring geometric phases in thermal engines for non-cyclic circuits.
