Scaling-Up Quantum Heat Engines Efficiently via Shortcuts to Adiabaticity
The finite-time operation of a quantum heat engine that uses a single particle as a working medium generally increases the output power at the expense of inducing friction that lowers the cycle efficiency. We propose to scale up a quantum heat engine utilizing a many-particle working medium in combi...
