• Abstract: Ergotropy, as a measure for extractable work from a quantum system, has garnered significant attention due to its relevance in quantum thermodynamics and information processing. In this work, the dynamics of ergotropy will be investigated in a nonequilibrium environment for both Markovian and non-Markovian regime. In this study, both the coherent and incoherent parts of the ergotropy will be considered. It will be shown that for a non-equilibrium environment, the extraction of work is more efficient compared to when the environment is in equilibrium.

  Quantum heat engines and refrigerators are open quantum systems, whose dynamics can be well understood using a non-Hermitian formalism. We demonstrate, using a Paul-trapped ultracold ion, the first chiral quantum heating and refrigeration by dynamically encircling a closed loop. Our experiments have revealed that not only the adiabaticity-breakdown but also the Landau-Zener-St"uckelberg process play an essential role during dynamic encircling.
