- Abstract: We report a new scanning nanomechanical noise microscopy platform enabling to both heat and acquire the fluctuations of mechanical nanostructures with nanometric resolution. We use this platform to image the thermally activated nanomechanical dynamics of a model system consisting of a $40\,\mathrm{nm}$ diameter single-defect nanowire, while scanning a localized heat source across its surface. We develop a thermal backaction model, which we use to demonstrate a close connection between the structure of the nanowire, its thermal response, its dissipation and its fluctuations. We notably show that the defect behaves as a single fluctuation hub, whose e-beam excitation yields a far off-equilibrium vibrational state, largely dominated by the quantum fluctuations of the heating source. Our platform is of interest for future quantitative investigation of fundamental nanoscale dynamical phenomena, and appears as a new playground for investigating quantum thermodynamics in the strongly dissipative regime and at room temperature.

We propose a three-level $Lambda$-type quantum heat engine with a vibrating nanomirror, where the connection is established via a laser field.
In the presence of both hot and cold thermal photonic baths, the atom interacts with the laser field, generating photons as output, mimicking the operation of a heat engine driven by nanomirror vibrations.
The efficiency of the proposed engine decreases with an increasing photon distribution number in the hot reservoir, with a more pronounced decrease observed at higher values of atom-mirror coupling strength.
