Optimal work of the quantum Szilard engine under isothermal processes with inevitable irreversibility

We have found the optimal conditions for work performed by the quantum Szilard engine (SZE) containing multi-particles under isothermal processes with inevitable irreversibility. We define the restorability as the probability that the reversibility of an engine with inevitable irreversibility is ach...
