Quantum spin-heat engine with trapped ions
André R. R. Carvalho, Liam J. McClelland, Erik W. Streed +1
We propose an ion-trap implementation of the Vaccaro, Barnett and Wright et al. spin-heat engine (SHE); a hypothetical engine that operates between energy and spin thermal reservoi…

Beyond the Carnot limit: work extraction via an entropy battery
Liam Judd McClelland
Heat is a physical manifestation of entropy, where the removal of entropy from a thermal energy reservoir permits the conversion of heat into work. This entropy transfer is facilit…
