Ultra-cold single-atom quantum heat engines
We propose a scheme for a single-atom quantum heat engine based on ultra-cold atom technologies. Building on the high degree of control typical of cold atom systems, we demonstrate that three paradigmatic heat engines—Carnot, Otto and Diesel—are within reach of state-of-the-art technology, and their...
