Shortcut-to-adiabaticity quantum Otto refrigerator

We investigate the performance of a quantum Otto refrigerator operating in finite time and exploiting local counterdiabatic techniques. We evaluate its coefficient of performance and cooling power when the working medium consists of a quantum harmonic oscillator with a time-dependent frequency. We f...
