• Abstract summary: We experimentally implemented a quantum Otto heat engine using spin-1/2 nuclei on a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) quantum processor. We investigated its performance using the shortcut-to-adiabaticity technique via counter-adiabatic driving. We found a significant improvement in the performance of the quantum Otto heat engine driven by shortcut-to-adiabaticity, as compared to the non-adiabatic heat engine.

• Abstract: The finite time operation of a quantum Otto heat engine leads to a trade-off between efficiency and output power, which is due to the deviation of the system from the adiabatic path. This trade-off caveat can be bypassed by using the shortcut-to-adiabaticity protocol. We experimentally implemented a quantum Otto heat engine using spin-1/2 nuclei on a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) quantum processor. We investigated its performance using the shortcut-to-adiabaticity technique via counter-adiabatic driving with the inclusion of the cost to perform the shortcut. We use two different metrics that incorporate the cost of shortcut-to-adiabaticity to define engine efficiency and experimentally analyze which one is more appropriate for the NMR platform. We found a significant improvement in the performance of the quantum Otto heat engine driven by shortcut-to-adiabaticity, as compared to the non-adiabatic heat engine.

  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.

• A Quantum Otto Engine with Shortcuts to Thermalization and Adiabaticity [0.0]
  We investigate the energetic advantage of accelerating an Otto engine by use of shortcuts to adiabaticity and to equilibrium. Applying both type of shortcuts leads to enhanced power and efficiency even after the driving costs are taken into account. We show that controlling three strokes of the cycle leads to an overall improvement of the performance metrics compared with controlling only the two adiabatic strokes.

• Finite-time two-spin quantum Otto engines: shortcuts to adiabaticity vs. irreversibility [0.0]
  We first characterize the parameter regime that the working medium operates as an engine in the adiabatic regime. We consider finite-time behavior of the engine with and without utilizing a shortcut to adiabaticity technique. We observe that, for certain parameter regimes, the irreversibility, as measured by the efficiency lags, due to finite-time driving is so low that non-adiabatic engine performs quite close to the adiabatic engine.
