The Quantum Friction and Optimal Finite-Time Performance of the Quantum Otto Cycle
In this work we considered the quantum Otto cycle within an optimization framework. The goal was maximizing the power for a heat engine or maximizing the cooling power for a refrigerator. In the field of finite-time quantum thermodynamics it is common to consider frictionless trajectories since thes...
