Quantum field heat engine powered by phonon-photon interactions

We present a quantum heat engine based on a cavity with two oscillating mirrors that confine a quantum field. The engine performs an Otto cycle during which the walls and a field mode, together representing the working substance of the engine, interact via a nonlinear Hamiltonian. Resonances between...
