Single-Atom Heat Machines Enabled by Energy Quantization

Single-Atom Heat Machines Enabled by Energy Quantization

Quantization of energy is a quintessential characteristic of quantum systems. Here we analyze its effects on the operation of Otto cycle heat machines and show that energy quantization alone may alter and increase machine performance in terms of output work, efficiency, and even operation mode. We s...
