Abstract
We study the optimal output power and efficiency of the three-terminal quantum heat engine with Coulomb-coupled quantum-dots (CCQD). It has been well known that in the weak coupling regime, two kinds of dominant transport mechanisms are sequential tunneling and cotunneling processes in CCQD. What process becomes dominant, which can be controlled by several parameters such as temperature difference, bias voltage, Coulomb interaction and tunneling parameters, is one of the key problems to determine the performance of the heat engine. We show the parametric dependence of the output power and coefficient and find the optimal performance of this CCQD heat engine through genetic algorithm.
