Efficiency of isothermal molecular machines at maximum power
Christian Van den Broeck, Niraj Kumar, Katja Lindenberg
We derive upper and lower bounds for the efficiency of an isothermal molecular machine operating at maximum power. The upper bound is reached when the activated state is close to t…

Stochastically driven single level quantum dot: a nano-scale finite-time thermodynamic machine and its various operational modes
Massimiliano Esposito, Niraj Kumar, Katja Lindenberg +1
We describe a single-level quantum dot in contact with two leads as a nanoscale finite-time thermodynamic machine. The dot is driven by an external stochastic force that switches i…
