Magnetic Stirling Cycle for Qubits with Anisotropy near the Quantum Critical Point

We studied the performance of a quantum magnetic Stirling cycle that uses a working substance composed of two entangled antiferromagnetic qubits (<i>J</i>) under the influence of an external magnetic field (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML&quo...

description We studied the performance of a quantum magnetic Stirling cycle that uses a working substance composed of two entangled antiferromagnetic qubits (<i>J</i>) under the influence of an external magnetic field (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi>B</mi><mi>z</mi></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula>) and an uniaxial anisotropy field (<i>K</i>) along the total spin in the y-direction. The efficiency and work were calculated as a function of <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi>B</mi><mi>z</mi></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula> and for different values of the anisotropy constant <i>K</i> given hot and cold reservoir temperatures. The anisotropy has been shown to extend the region of the external magnetic field in which the Stirling cycle is more efficient compared to the ideal case.
