Beating Carnot efficiency with periodically driven chiral conductors
The power generated by an ideal thermal machine cannot exceed the Carnot limit in classical physics. Here, Ryu et al., demonstrate that a periodically driven quantum chiral conductor can exhibit efficiencies beyond the Carnot limit while the second law of thermodynamics is preserved.
