Energy production in one-qubit quantum Agrawal machines
J.J. Fernández
Abstract
Abstract We obtain the power and Ω-function of one-qubit Agrawal quantum heat engines solving the Lindbland equation and using the tools of Finite Time Thermodynamics. We prove that these two thermodynamic functions have their maximum values for efficiencies different to zero and the Carnot efficiency. Finally, analyzing the high temperature limit of AQHEs we discover the range of temperatures for which the quantum behaviour is valid.
