Quantum heat engine based on quantum interferometry: the SU(1,1) Otto cycle
Abstract
We present a quantum heat engine based on a quantum Otto cycle, whose working substance reproduces the same outcomes of a SU(1,1) interference process at the end of each adiabatic transformation. This device takes advantage of the extraordinary quantum metrological features of the SU(1,1) interferometer to better discriminate the sources of uncertainty of relevant observables during each adiabatic stroke of the cycle. Applications to circuit QED platforms are also discussed.
