This research establishes fundamental physical limits on the precision of quantum heat engines, showing that fluctuations are governed by thermodynamic and kinetic constraints rather than being unbounded. These findings are critical for advancing quantum thermodynamics, particularly for designing steady-state devices operating far from equilibrium where classical theories fail. The work provides a necessary theoretical framework for optimizing power production efficiency in small-scale quantum systems under strong coupling conditions.
