Magnetically-Driven Quantum Heat Engines: The Quasi-Static Limit of Their Efficiency
The concept of a quantum heat engine (QHEN) has been discussed in the literature, not only due to its intrinsic scientific interest, but also as an alternative to efficiently recover, on a nanoscale device, thermal energy in the form of useful work. The quantum character of a QHEN relies, for instan...
