Quantum heat engine in the optomechanical system with mechanical parametric drive

Abstract

We consider a quantum Otto-type heat engine constructed in an optomechanical system with which the cavity is chosen as the working substance. The cavity can effectively be coupled with hot thermal baths in nonequilibrium steady-states via optomechanical interaction. The mechanical mode with parametric drive fuels the cavity, and the utilization efficiency of energy is discussed. To obtain higher efficiency in finite time evolution, we use the shortcuts-to-adiabaticity method in work generation processes. The modified thermal efficiencies are obtained by numerical simulation. Such a system provides potential applications in quantum heat transfer and energy utilization in quantum devices.
