Collective effects enhanced multi-qubit information engines
arXiv:2306.12072 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.108.042219
Abstract
We study a quantum information engine (QIE) modeled by a multi-qubit working medium (WM) collectively coupled to a single thermal bath. We show that one can harness the collective effects to significantly enhance the performance of the QIE, as compared to equivalent engines lacking collective effects. We use one bit of information about the WM magnetization to extract work from the thermal bath. We analyze the work output, noise-to-signal ratio and thermodynamic uncertainty relation, and contrast these performance metrics of a collective QIE with that of an engine whose WM qubits are coupled independently to a thermal bath. We show that in the limit of high temperatures of the thermal bath, a collective QIE always outperforms its independent counterpart. In contrast to quantum heat engines, where collective enhancement in specific heat plays a direct role in improving the performance of the engines, here the collective advantage stems from higher occupation probabilities for the higher energy levels of the positive magnetization states, as compared to the independent case.
