The important message to take away is, that the ergotropy of the model
in this section is indeed finite, both for vanishing energy level
spacing and increasing number of degrees of freedom. We can expect the
bound \cref{eq:thermo_ergo_bound} to hold in this case with good
confidence.
After validating the bound of \cref{sec:ergoonebath} for a concrete
example, we now return to a more generic setting in

\section{Conclusion}

We have reviewed the notion of unitarily extractable energy
``ergotropy'' and found that this quantity is indeed bounded by

We have reviewed the notion of unitarily extractable energy,
``ergotropy'', and found that this quantity is indeed bounded by
\cref{eq:thermo_ergo_bound} for a class of models we studied in this
work, namely finite dimensional systems coupled to a heat bath. It was
further demonstrated with an analytical calculation that this bound
can apply to baths with infinite degrees of freedom. In the
case of multiple baths, a Gibbs like inequality

Subsequently, we studied a modulated version of the spin-boson model
with the goal of extracting energy from a thermal bath. We found that
