Quantum Thermal Machines Improved by Internal Coupling: From Equilibrium to Non-equilibrium Limit Cycles
Jingyi Gao, Naomichi Hatano
We investigate how internal coupling influences the operation and performance of a quantum Otto cycle operating as the Gibbs-state limit cycle (GSLC), equilibrating limit cycle (EL…

Non-equilibrium Dynamics of Three-Level Absorption Refrigerator at Third-Order Liouvillian Exceptional Points
Jingyi Gao, Naomichi Hatano
We analyze the influence of Liouvillian exceptional points (LEPs) in the three-level quantum absorption refrigerator, putting emphasis on the non-equilibrium process before the con…
