Quasiperiodic quantum heat engines with a mobility edge
Steady-state thermoelectric machines convert heat into work by driving a thermally generated charge current against a voltage gradient. In this work, we propose a new class of steady-state heat engines operating in the quantum regime, where a quasiperiodic tight-binding model that features a mobilit...
