Periodic Thermodynamics of Open Quantum Systems
Kay Brandner, Udo Seifert
The thermodynamics of quantum systems coupled to periodically modulated heat baths and work reservoirs is developed. By identifying affinities and fluxes, the first and second law…

Optimal performance of periodically driven, stochastic heat engines under limited control
Michael Bauer, Kay Brandner, Udo Seifert
We consider the performance of periodically driven stochastic heat engines in the linear response regime. Reaching the theoretical bounds for efficiency and efficiency at maximum p…
