Efficiency gains exceeding expectations at elevated temperatures reveal a surprising control mechanism within quantum heat engines. Unlike conventional systems which falter as heat increases, this device demonstrates tunable performance, maintaining stability at lower temperatures. These findings clarify how interactions between components induce directional energy flow and establish lasting quantum entanglement.

Scientists at University of Oxford have detailed the significant impact of on-site interactions on the transport properties of a continuous quantum thermal machine. The study elucidates the role of non-Markovianity and non-linearities in quantum transport phenomena, demonstrating that interactions can effectively tune the machine’s efficiency at elevated temperatures and induce non-reciprocal transport, particularly when coupled with asymmetric reservoir configurations. Employing the sophisticated Hierarchy of Pure States (HPS) method, the research validates the Redfield master equation as an accurate and robust framework for describing the…
